1951 Map of Gulkana

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Copper River Meridian divides this mid-century Alaskan landscape, where the confluence of the Gulkana River and the Tazlina River serves as a vital hub for transportation and settlement. The Richardson Highway serves as the primary north-south artery, connecting remote outposts like Sourdough and Gakona with the growing junction at Glennallen PO. To the west, the massive expanse of Lake Louise and Susitna Lake dominates the Copper River Basin, while the eastern horizon is defined by the towering peaks of the Alaska Range, including Mt Drum and Mt Sanford. The presence of numerous lodges such as Atlasta House and Tazlina Glacier Lodge along the Glenn Highway indicates the area's development as a gateway for travelers and supply routes during the early 1950s. This survey records the region just as modern infrastructure began to firmly establish these high-country settlements.
