1960 Map of Anchorage A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Upper Lake George and the expansive Lake George dominate this 1960 survey, revealing a landscape defined by massive ice formations and shifting glacial runoff. The map captures a moment in the mid-century before significant geomorphic changes, showcasing the formidable presence of the Colony Glacier as it interacts with the water systems. Most of the terrain falls within the Chugach National Forest, marked by an Indefinite Boundary that speaks to the remote and evolving nature of the Alaskan wilderness at this time. To the south, the headwaters of the Twentymile River and the secluded Glenn Lake offer specific points of reference for those studying the hydrology of the region. The sheer scale of the Stairway Glacier and Surprise Glacier illustrates the glacial dominance that dictated local navigation and land use during this era.
