1959 Map of Nabesna A-4

About this map

Orange Hill stands as a rare outpost of human activity amidst the massive ice flows and glacial valleys of this Alaskan interior landscape in the late 1950s. The region is dominated by the sprawling Nabesna Glacier, its surface marked by extensive crevasses that testify to the slow, powerful movement of the ice. To the north, the Nabesna River winds through the drainage basin, fed by high-altitude tributaries including Monte Cristo Creek and Bond Creek.
