1953 Map of Valdez C-4

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Tonsina River and its major tributaries carve a path through the Chugach Mountains of south-central Alaska, anchoring the settlement patterns of the early 1950s. The Richardson Highway parallels the river valley, serving as the primary corridor for movement between Pippin Lake in the north and Tonsina, where a Cem and Gaging Sta mark the local activity. The convergence of Bernard Creek and the Little Tonsina River creates a vital junction for early transportation and surveying efforts, highlighted by numerous vertical angle bench marks like VABM Tonsina.
