1960 Map of Valdez C-7

About this map

Tazlina Glacier dominates the central corridor of this Alaskan terrain, its massive icy reach marked by numerous Crevasses as it flows between high mountain ridges. This 1960 field annotation captures a landscape defined entirely by glacial activity and water drainage, with no roads or trails present in the area at the time of the survey. The glacier feeds into Iceberg Lake, while steep-sided valleys are carved by watercourses like Klanelneechena Creek and Kaina Creek. The southeast corner of the map shows the headwaters of the Hallet River, emphasizing the role of this frozen high country as a primary watershed. These land lines represent unsurveyed and unmarked locations as predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management, reflecting the remote nature of the Chugach Mountains region during the mid-century period.
