1960 Map of Nabesna B-6

About this map

Copper River serves as the central artery of this high-latitude terrain, where the river's braided channels flow through a landscape defined by glacial movements. To the southeast, Tanada Peak rises as a prominent landmark above the surrounding topography. The presence of both the West Glacier and the Drop Glacier illustrates the significant glacial influence on the local hydrology, feeding into tributaries like Drop Creek. A single Tractor Trail provides the only evidence of overland human transit through these valleys, hinting at the era's reliance on specialized machinery for accessing the interior. To the east, the broad waters of Copper Lake gather at the base of the mountains, marking a transition from the narrow river corridors to wider basins. This survey, based on 1957 aerial photography, captures the interior's geography before significant modern infrastructure reached these specific reaches of the Copper River valley.
