About this map

Mount Logan and Valdez Summit anchor this high-elevation Alaskan terrain, where the landscape is defined by massive ice fields and steep glacial valleys. The map documents the northern reaches of Valdez, situated near the boundary of Copper River and Chugach counties. The area is a complex network of moving ice and drainage, featuring the expansive Valdez Glacier and the Shoup Glacier further west.

Lower elevations are carved by Mineral Creek, which flows from its namesake Mineral Creek Glacier, while Johnson Glacier dominates the southern sections. High-altitude landmarks like Mt Brookfield, Mt Mahlo, and the passage at Bates Pass illustrate the formidable geography that surrounds the coastal settlement, providing a detailed record of the peaks and glacial margins in the early twenty-first century.
