1951 Map of Valdez B-4

About this map

Tiekel River and Tsina River cut through the Chugach Mountains, following a corridor that has served as a vital transportation artery for over a century. The Richardson Highway parallels these watercourses, connecting small outposts like Tiekel and Tiekel Cache to the interior. This specific survey, annotated in the early 1950s, documents the landscape before the massive infrastructure shifts of the late 20th century, though the presence of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and Pumping Sta 12 indicates the modern industrial layering over the traditional route. High-altitude landmarks such as Mt Tiekel and Rice Mtn tower over the drainage basins of Stuart Creek and Glacier Creek, marking a terrain where geography dictates every path of travel.
