2016 Map of Valdez A-5 NW
USGS Topo · Published 2016About this map
Worthington Glacier and Twentyseven Mile Glacier dominate this high-altitude Alaskan landscape, where ice and infrastructure meet in the Chugach Mountains. The map illustrates a critical transportation corridor near Thompson Pass, featuring the parallel routes of the Richardson Highway and the Alaska Pipeline. This alignment through the mountain pass highlights the technical challenges of modern resource transport in subarctic environments. Higher elevations are characterized by the vast Ted Stevens Icefield, while drainage is managed by systems like the Tsina River, Ptarmigan Cr, and Sheep Cr. The presence of the Thompson Pass Airport near the highway junction underscores the area's role as a vital waypoint for both ground and air travel in the Unorganized Borough.
