1951 Map of Valdez B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Richardson Highway provides the primary corridor through this interior Alaskan wilderness, following the valley of Mosquito Creek and passing through the small outposts of Tiekel and Ernestine. This mid-century survey captures a landscape defined by glacial activity and high-altitude surveying markers like VABM 5014 Ernestine. The transportation route stays west of the high peaks, while the eastern portion of the map is dominated by the braided channels of the Copper River and the glacial outflow of the Uranatina River. A lone Cabin near the Tonsina River highlights the isolation of the area during the 1950s. The network of drainage features, including Ernestine Creek and Fall Creek, illustrates the complex hydrology of the mountain passes before modern infrastructure further altered the backcountry.
