1960 Map of Anchorage A-6

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Chugach National Forest dominates this topographic landscape, showcasing the glacial activity and high-altitude terrain north of the Turnagain Arm in the early 1960s. The map documents a transition from the ice-carved valleys of Eagle River to the massive glacial systems of Eagle Glacier and Raven Glacier, where numerous crevasses are explicitly marked. For those interested in early mountain travel and exploration, the map identifies Crow Pass and the modest settlement of The Cache, alongside enigmatic ruins near Milk Gulch. These small markers of human presence are isolated among formidable peaks like Jewel Mtn and Goat Mtn. The drainage patterns are clearly defined, showing the source waters of Raven Creek and California Creek as they flow from the edges of Crow Glacier and Clear Glacier toward the lowlands.
