1960 Map of Valdez A-7

About this map

Valdez and the adjacent Old Valdez sit at the edge of Port Valdez in this detailed survey of the Prince William Sound region. The landscape is defined by the massive Shoup Glacier to the west and the Lowe River delta to the east, providing a clear view of the area's geography before the 1964 earthquake altered the coastline. Hard-rock mining history is well-documented throughout the surrounding mountains, with labels for the Cliff Mine near Shoup Bay, the Midas Mine on Solomon Gulch, and the Big Four Mine higher in the peaks. The map also records early twentieth-century military and industrial sites, including the Fort Liscum (Site) on the southern shore and the Johnson Mill located near Johnson Glacier. From the Valdez Airport to the Chugach National Forest boundaries, the map captures a pivotal Alaskan gateway during its post-war development.
