1951 Map of Valdez C-1

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The Chitina River and its glacial tributaries carve through this high mountain corridor, reflecting a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and remote outposts. In this 1951 survey, the presence of a Railroad Grade near the southern margin indicates the path of the former Copper River and Northwestern Railway, which once linked coastal ports to interior copper deposits. Several isolated structures, such as those labeled Cabins and a Mine near Deception Creek, point to the region's enduring history of prospecting and subsistence. High peaks like Hubbard Peak and Alice Peak tower over the Kotsina River drainage, where the terrain transitions from the Long Glacier down to the brushy flats near the Landing Strip Strelna and Strelna Lake. This sheet captures the intersection of early industrial infrastructure and the preservation of the Alaskan wilderness.
