1951 Map of Valdez D-5

About this map

Mt Carter and Sunny Peak dominate the high, unglaciated terrain in this mid-century survey of the Alaska interior. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between these alpine summits and the deep incision of The Gorge, where the Klutina River flows toward the southeast. The network of drainage, including Nickel Creek and Chulitkana Creek, illustrates a complex hydrological pattern feeding into the larger river system.
