1952 Map of Gulkana C-1

About this map

The Copper River dominates this mid-century Alaskan landscape, cutting a wide braided path through a region defined by its complex hydrology and glacial terrain. Just after the war, this survey captures the critical infrastructure of the Glenn Highway as it skirts the northern hills, providing a vital overland link through the interior. Near the western edge, the small settlement of Indian River sits at the confluence where Indian Creek meets the main river channel, marking one of the few named points of human habitation in the area.
