About this map

Valdez Glacier Stream flows southward from the massive glacial ice fields, carving a wide alluvial path toward the Valdez Corporate Boundary in this 1983 topographic survey. The landscape is defined by the dramatic descent from the high peaks of Abercrombie Mountain and West Peak toward the coast, where the local infrastructure of Valdez begins to take shape. This sheet captures a critical interface between the raw glacial environment and human development, visible in the placement of the Airport, a Trailer Park, and various Mines and Gravel Pits that supported the area's growth during the early 1980s. The map meticulously documents the drainage patterns of Camicia Creek and Slater Creek as they navigate the debris-laden glacial margins. For researchers, the map provides precise data on the extents of the Camicia Glacier and Rabin Glacier during this specific era of Alaskan history.
