About this map

Valdez sits at the head of Port Valdez, serving as a critical infrastructure hub where the Richardson Highway meets the sea. This 1980s-era survey documents a landscape defined by the transition from industrial mining roots to modern logistical operations. To the north, the steep valleys along Mineral Creek and its tributaries are dotted with the remnants of a hard-rock mining legacy, including the Big Four Mine, Hercules Mine, and the Johnson Mill (Ruins). The map details the shifted footprint of the settlement, noting both the established city center and New Town, alongside essential services like the Hospital and High Sch. Further inland, the massive Johnson Glacier dominates the upper elevations, feeding the network of creeks that carve through the Wood Creek drainage toward the coastal flats.
