1960 Map of Anchorage A-6

About this map

Eagle Glacier and the massive ice fields of the Chugach National Forest dominate this landscape, illustrating the complex glacial drainage systems of the Chugach Mountains during the late 1950s. The topographic detail traces the flow of ice into Eagle River and Raven Creek, while high-altitude landmarks like Crow Pass and The Cache provide reference points for early mountaineers and explorers. Numerous smaller glaciers, including Milk Glacier, Clear Glacier, and Raven Glacier, are mapped in their mid-century extent, feeding into water bodies such as Crystal Lake and Bird Creek. The map documents a wilderness defined by its elevations, ranging from the heights of Organ Mtn and Jewel Mtn to the southern reaches of the Twentymile R.
