1993 Map of Valdez C-7

About this map

Tazlina Glacier dominates this landscape, its massive ice field marked by numerous crevasses as it flows between high mountain ridges. This 1993 planimetric update to the 1950 topography reveals the dynamic nature of the ice and water in this portion of the Copper River Meridian. Along the southern flank of the glacier, Iceberg Lake sits as a significant catchment, while the meltwater feeds into several important drainage systems. The Klutina River and Hallet River emerge from the high country, defining the valley floors and the local hydrology. This map is particularly useful for observing the drainage patterns of Kaina Creek and other unnamed tributaries that carve through the steep terrain, reflecting a purely natural environment shaped by glaciation and high-altitude runoff.
