2016 Map of Valdez C-8 SE

About this map

Nelchina Glacier and Tazlina Glacier dominate this high-altitude landscape in the Unorganized Borough, where massive ice fields flow into the rugged drainage basins of the interior. The topographic detail captured by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the complex glacial movement and elevation shifts across the t3s r9w, t3s r8w, t4s r9w, and t4s r8w townships. This 2016 survey documents the shifting margins of these ice sheets and the headwaters of alpine streams like Klutelneechana Cr, which carves through the north-central terrain. The map serves as a vital record of the glaciated wilderness, showing the precise contours of these ice flows as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
