2016 Map of Valdez B-8 NE

About this map

Chugach National Forest land defines this high-altitude landscape, where massive ice fields and high peaks dominate the terrain. Centered within the quadrangle, the Tazlina Glacier is flanked by several prominent summits including the distinctive Tazlina Tower and Madean Peak. To the north, the Nelchina Glacier and Audubon Mtn mark the drainage divide, while the eastern reaches of the map feature the interestingly named Brontosaurus Mtn. The survey illustrates the complex glacial topography of the region as it appeared in the early 21st century, showing the expansive reach of the Columbia Glacier along the southern boundary. This map is a record of an environment shaped by moving ice and alpine elevations, with no roads or permanent settlements recorded within these township boundaries.
