1952 Map of Gulkana B-2

About this map

The braided channels of the Copper River dominate this interior Alaskan landscape, meeting the Sanford River as it flows from the east. This 1952 survey, based on aerial photography from 1949, documents a time when the Glenn Highway served as a primary artery through the wilderness, hugging the riverbanks and connecting surveyors to benchmarks like Vabm 1796. The terrain is characterized by complex hydrography, including the winding paths of Tulsona Creek and Little Tulsona Creek. Geodetic control points such as VABM Mid 2917 and Vabm 2601 stand as landmarks for researchers tracking early territorial mapping efforts. The map reveals the relationship between the major river systems and the limited road infrastructure in the Third Judicial Division during the mid-twentieth century.
