1979 Map of Anchorage A-7 NE

About this map

Chugach State Park dominates the mountainous terrain of this 1970s survey, illustrating the interface between the expanding residential fringes of the Municipality of Anchorage and the steep slopes of the Chugach Range. The map details a landscape in transition, where established neighborhood schools like Huffman Sch and O'Malley Sch serve growing communities along Huffman Road. To the south, the settlement of Potter and the small enclave at Rainbow cling to the narrow corridor between the mountains and the tidal flats of Turnagain Arm. The survey captures the early development of the Hillside area, including the Bear Valley Sch, while documenting the critical infrastructure of the Seward Highway and a major Pipeline corridor. Distinctive landmarks such as Flattop Mountain and Beluga Point provide clear orientation for tracing the geographic evolution of the region during a period of significant growth.
