1993 Map of Valdez C-6

About this map

Klutina Lake dominates this glacial landscape, serving as the massive terminus for the Klutina River which flows northward through the valley floor. Compiled from mid-century topography with updated planimetry from 1993, the map illustrates a wilderness largely defined by its dramatic elevation changes and alpine water systems. High peaks such as Powell Peak and Dyke Mtn overlook the lake, while the southern reaches are fed by the Hallet River. Evidence of human presence is sparse, limited to a single Cabin and various primitive trails, suggesting a region primarily utilized for seasonal subsistence or remote exploration. The vast Cranberry Marsh in the north indicates the saturated, low-lying terrain that borders the lake's outlet. This survey documents the unchanging nature of the Copper River Meridian before modern development reached these remote corridors.
