1952 Map of Gulkana B-2

About this map

The braided waters of the Copper River and Sanford River dominate this 1949 aerial survey of the Gulkana region. The landscape is defined by the complex glacial outwash patterns of these major waterways, where shifting channels and gravel bars create a dynamic riverine environment. Along the northwestern edge, the Glenn Highway provides the primary overland corridor, following the higher ground above the river valley. This transportation route parallels several watercourses, including Tulsona Creek and Little Tulsona Creek, which drain the surrounding highlands. Survey markers like VABM Cliff and VABM Sanford denote significant elevation points across the terrain, reflecting the early postwar efforts by the Geological Survey to map the Alaskan interior using multiplex methods and aerial photography.
