About this map

Valdez sits at the edge of the Prince William Sound, serving as a critical coastal hub where the Richardson Highway meets the sea. This 2016 survey illustrates the modern layout of the city, including its grid of residential and commercial streets such as Egan Drive, Pioneer Drive, and Hazellet Avenue. The presence of the Prince William Sound Community College and Valdez Pioneer Field highlights the area's development as an educational and logistical center for the region.

North of the settlement, the landscape is dominated by glacial activity and steep drainage systems. Mineral Creek carves a deep valley followed by the Mineral Creek Road, leading toward the massive Shoup Glacier and Johnson Glacier. To the east, the Ted Stevens Icefield remains a prominent frozen feature, while the coastal waters are dotted with Mineral Creek Islands and the descriptively named Ammunition Island.
