2015 Map of Anchorage A-5 NE

About this map

Lake George sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape in the Anchorage municipality, a region defined by dramatic vertical relief and glacial movement. The presence of Colony Glacier in the northeast corner illustrates the active ice-and-water dynamics that have shaped the Chugach Mountains, as shown in this 2015 update from the U.S. Geological Survey. Surveyed sections for Townships 13 and 12 North are demarcated across the terrain, reflecting the foundational Public Land Survey System framework managed by the Bureau of Land Management. This map provides a technical view of the hydrography and topography of the Alaskan interior where natural features dictate the boundaries of human organization.
