1959 Map of Valdez D-2

About this map

Wrangell-St Elias National Monument defines the geography of this 1959-annotated landscape, where glacial waters and seasonal routes carve through the interior. The Dadina River and Cheshnina River dominate the drainage patterns, feeding into a network of braided streams and forks. A lone Cabin and a remote Landing Strip represent the primary signs of human habitation in this wilderness, while the Winter Trail provides the only overland connectivity shown through the northern corridor. These sparse markers of settlement and transportation reflect the early administrative efforts by the Bureau of Land Management to document land units along the Base Line before more modern infrastructure reached the region. The map preserves a quiet moment in the Alaskan interior, centered on the confluence of the East Fork and the larger glacial river systems.
