1960 Map of Anchorage A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Glacial ice and alpine basins dominate this mid-century survey of the Chugach Mountains, recorded before the significant landscape shifts of later decades. The massive Colony Glacier and Stairway Glacier are shown at their 1960 extent, feeding the basins of Upper Lake George and Lake George. This specific topography reflects the region's dynamic hydrology, particularly the historical self-damming and seasonal outburst flooding typical of this glacial system.
