1960 Map of Valdez A-8

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The massive Columbia Glacier dominates the northwestern corner of this landscape, its terminus pushing toward the waters of Columbia Bay. Mapped just a few years before the 1964 earthquake altered much of the Alaskan coastline, this survey documents the extensive ice fields and coastal inlets of the Chugach National Forest. The map traces the maritime corridor from Valdez Arm through the constricted Valdez Narrows into Port Valdez, a vital waterway for the region's shipping.
