2016 Map of Valdez B-7 SW

About this map

Ice and high-altitude peaks dominate this portion of the Chugach National Forest, where the topography is defined by the massive slow-moving flows of the Tazlina Glacier and the Columbia Glacier. These frozen rivers carve through a landscape anchored by prominent summits such as Mt Cashman and Mt Shoupina. The survey details the convergence of glacial ice and high-relief terrain, providing a record of the eastern extent of the Shoup Glacier and the northern reaches of the Valdez Glacier. As of this 2016 edition, the map illustrates the immense scale of the ice fields and the surrounding peaks like Tazcol Peak and Lindita Peak, reflecting a wilderness devoid of modern roads or settlements, where the primary geographic features are geological and meteorological in nature.
