2016 Map of Valdez A-6 NE

About this map

Ted Stevens Icefield dominates this high-altitude Alaskan landscape, where the flow of moving ice defines the terrain in a region known for its massive glacial systems. This 2016 survey documents the sprawling reach of several ice bodies, including Tsina Glacier in the north and the Comicia Glacier and Rubin Glacier along the southwestern edge. The map highlights the sharp contrasts between the deep ice fields and the high points that break through them, such as Prospectors Peak and East Peak. The drainage patterns are clearly visible where ice gives way to water, specifically along the path of Sheep Cr as it descends through the southeastern quadrant. This modern representation of the Chugach Mountains captures the state of these vital glaciers in the early 21st century, providing a baseline for environmental study and mountain navigation.
