1959 Map of Valdez D-2

About this map

Glacial river valleys and high mountain drainage basins define this portion of the Copper River region, as mapped in the late 1950s. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of waterways, including the Dadina River and the Chetaslina River, which carve through the terrain alongside the Cheshnina River and Chitokna River. This remote Alaskan interior map provides an look at the region's limited infrastructure during the mid-century, characterized by a seasonal Winter Trail and a isolated Cabin located near the junction of the East Fork Chetaslina River. Evidence of early aviation and backcountry access is visible via a small Landing Strip situated near Sheep Gulch in the northeastern quadrant. The map serves as a primary record of the natural topography and the sparse human footprint in this wilderness area before more modern development reached the Alaskan interior.
