1953 Map of Valdez C-2

About this map

The confluence of the Copper River and Chitina River dominates this mid-century Alaskan landscape, revealing a period when transportation relied heavily on the Edgerton Cutoff. The settlement at Chitina is shown at the southeastern corner of the map, featuring a Cem and a nearby Air Strip that highlights the region's dependence on aerial access. To the west, Lower Tonsina sits along the Tonsina River, connected by road to several remote Cabin sites. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, from the braided riverbeds to the heights of VABM 4719 Liberty. Local landmarks like Liberty Falls and the Gravel Pit along the highway suggest the small-scale industrial and natural features that defined rural life in this part of the Alaska Territory.
