About this map

The Fort Richardson Military Reservation boundary divides this high-alpine landscape, where the northwestern peaks transition into the expansive Chugach State Park. This mid-1990s record of the Anchorage backcountry showcases a network of non-motorized and historic corridors, most notably a section of the Iditarod National Historic Trail (Pack) following the Eagle River near Echo Bend.

The map details the complex drainage systems of the Chugach Mountains, from the Flute Glacier feeding into the south to high-altitude basins like those containing Symphony Lake and Eagle Lake. Significant recreational and ecological infrastructure is present, including the Alpenglow Ski Area accessed via Arctic Valley Road and the Salmon Viewing Center. Names like Mount Williwaw, North Suicide Peak, and Ptarmigan Peak define the skyline, while established routes like Powerline Pass and Bird Creek Pass provide historical transit points through the steep terrain.
