1960 Map of Anchorage A-7

About this map

Fort Richardson Military Reservation dominates the northwestern portion of this 1960 survey, illustrating the significant military footprint near Anchorage during the Cold War era. The high peaks and deep valleys of what is now Chugach State Park define the eastern and southern reaches, where the landscape is marked by prominent alpine features such as Mount Williwaw, Eagle Peak, and Hurdygurdy Mtn. Glacial activity is evident through the presence of Bird Glacier and Flute Glacier, while several high mountain passes, including Bird Creek Pass and Powerline Pass, indicate established routes through the interior.
