2023 Map of Valdez B-6 SE

About this map

Valdez Glacier dominates the western landscape of this high-elevation terrain, where massive ice fields and high-altitude contours define the drainage patterns of the Copper River Census Area. This 2023 survey provides a detailed look at the ice-locked peaks and glacial valleys that characterize this portion of the Chugach Mountains. To the east, the Tonsina Glacier occupies a significant portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the massive scale of these perennial ice features. The map is organized by the Public Land Survey System, showing segments of t6s r5w, t6s r4w, t7s r5w, and t7s r4w, which serve as the primary navigational framework for this undeveloped wilderness. The high density of contour lines across the entire sheet illustrates a landscape of extreme verticality, shaped entirely by active glaciation and geological forces.
