1952 Map of Anchorage A-8

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The growing urban footprint of Anchorage and its surrounding military installations dominate this mid-century landscape. Just before the Great Alaska Earthquake, the city is shown expanding into outlying areas like Spenard, Mountain View, and the newly established Turnagain Heights. The critical role of aviation is evident through the development of Merrill Airport and the sprawling International Airport near Lake Spenard, which also served as a Seaplane Base.
