1957 Map of Valdez A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Glacial ice and high-altitude terrain dominate this mid-century survey of the Chugach Mountains region. The massive ice fields are marked by extensive crevasses, feeding a network of glacial meltwater streams that converge in the valley below. To the southeast, the Bremner River and Little Bremner River carve through the landscape, while the Copper R flows along the western edge of The Peninsula. This map serves as a primary record of the cryosphere before significant modern recession, noting specific survey markers like Vabm Creel and Vabm Salmon atop the peaks. The drainage patterns are clearly defined, showing how Dewey Creek and Falls Creek move water from the high ice toward the Tebay Lakes and the larger river systems.
