1960 Map of Valdez

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The coastal gateway of Valdez and the mountain corridors of the eastern Chugach Range anchor this mid-century topographic study. The map documents the vital transport network of the era, including the Richardson Highway and Glenn Highway, which served as the primary terrestrial links between the Gulf of Alaska and the interior. Along the Copper River, the former route of the Copper River and Northwestern Railroad is still visible near Chitina and Strelna, marking the legacy of the region's copper mining industrial period. Interior settlements such as Copper Center and Tonsina are shown at the junctions of major glacial river systems. To the south, Fort Liscum stands across the water from the main townsite of Valdez, while massive ice fields including Columbia Glacier and Tazlina Glacier dominate the surrounding high peaks of the Chugach National Forest.
