2023 Map of Valdez A-7 SE

About this map

Valdez and the historic site of Old Valdez anchor this coastal landscape where industrial infrastructure meets the steep peaks of the Chugach National Forest. The modern energy economy is clearly traced via the Alaska Pipeline, which winds along the shoreline and through the mountains near Jackson Point. The transition from the old townsite to the current city is reflected in the road network, including the Richardson Highway and local streets like Sawmill Drive. High-altitude features like Sugarloaf Mtn overlook significant water bodies and drainage systems, most notably Solomon Lake and the steep descents of Solomon Gulch and Abercrombie Gulch. From the tidal flats of Sawmill Spit to the interior mountain ranges, the map documents a vital corridor of Alaskan transport and utility networks.
