1951 Map of Valdez B-6

About this map

Chugach Mountains peaks and active glacial flows dominate this mid-century survey of the Alaska interior. The landscape is defined by the massive Klutina Glacier, which feeds into the headwaters of the Klutina River. To the south and east, the Valdez Glacier, Tonsina Glacier, and Tsina Glacier carve through the high-elevation terrain. Numerous peaks are identified by name, including Mt Ourand, Mt Evans, Mt Schrader, and Black Mtn, providing critical landmarks for navigation in a region shown without established roads or trails. The map specifically notes widespread Crevasses across the ice fields, illustrating the dynamic and treacherous nature of these mountain passes during the early 1950s. This survey records a wilderness shaped by ice and elevation before modern infrastructure reached these specific reaches of the Alaskan range.
