About this map

Fort Richardson Military Reservation occupies a significant portion of this high-altitude landscape, where military infrastructure meets the eastern reaches of the Anchorage area. The survey illustrates the intersection of recreation and defense, featuring the Alpenglow Ski Area and its associated Ski Lift infrastructure tucked into the mountains. This 1993 edition documents the transition into Chugach State Park, showing a terrain defined by sharp ridges and deep valleys carved by Ship Creek and the South Fork Eagle River.

High-elevation peaks such as Tanaina Peak, Temptation Peak, and Wolverine Peak dominate the topography, while isolated water bodies like Tanaina Lake and Long Lake are found in the lower basins. The only significant transit corridor shown is the Arctic Valley Road, which provides access into the mountain passes. The presence of a simple Cabin label suggests the limited, seasonal human habitation typical of this wilderness periphery during the early 1990s.
