1951 Map of Valdez B-4

About this map

The Richardson Highway provides the primary corridor through this high-altitude landscape in the early 1950s, following the narrow valleys carved by the Tiekel River and Tsina River. The map captures a critical point in the region's transport history, showing the highway's path as it winds past roadside landmarks like Tiekel Cache and the small settlement of Tiekel. Surveyed before the era of modern Alaskan infrastructure, this 1951 sheet records the exact placement of isolated structures such as a Cabin near the confluence of Stuart Creek and several geodetic survey markers like VABM Rice atop Rice Mtn. The terrain is defined by steep glacial valleys and named water bodies including Glacier Creek and Mill Creek, illustrating the glacial drainage patterns that shaped the Copper River Basin's geography.
