About this map

Glacial movement and river dynamics define the terrain surrounding the Lowe River valley in the early 1950s. The Valdez Glacier dominates the northern landscape, its retreat recorded in the vast fields of crevasses and the formation of the Robe River drainage system. Along the valley floor, the Richardson Highway provides the primary overland artery, passing through the sheer walls of Keystone Canyon where a tunnel was required for passage. Near the coast, the aviation infrastructure is well-established, featuring both the Valdez Airport and a designated Seaplane Landing on Robe Lake. Small cabins and a Cem are situated near the junction of mountain streams, indicating the scattered nature of settlement during this period of geological and topographic surveying.
