1960 Map of Anchorage A-7

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Fort Richardson Military Reservation dominates the northwest quadrant of this 1960s topographic study, illustrating the strategic military footprint near Anchorage during the Cold War era. High-altitude recreational features like the Ski Bowl and the connecting Ski Road appear alongside the rugged natural drainage systems of Ship Creek and the South Fork Eagle River. The map meticulously details the glaciated terrain of the Chugach Mountains, including the massive Bird Glacier and notable summits like Suicide Peak. For the researcher, the map preserves the precise alignment of the Seward Meridian and the approximate boundaries of federal land withdrawals. Historic transit through the high country is evidenced by Bird Creek Pass and Indian Creek Pass, providing a clear view of the wilderness landscape before extensive modern trail development and expansion into the front range.
