1949 Map of Valdez D-8
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
The Glenn Highway traces the northern edge of this Alaskan landscape, providing a vital transportation corridor through the wilderness shortly after the war. This survey captures the region just as photogrammetric methods began to provide a more precise view of the complex hydrology and terrain, centered around the Nelchina River and its tributary, the Little Nelchina River. The map reveals a transition from the lower river valleys to the high elevations of Heavenly Ridge, where peaks like VABM 4812 Shale and VABM 4367 Lina overlook the remote Nelchina Bench Lake.
