1952 Map of Anchorage A-8

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Anchorage expands during the early 1950s, bounded by the waters of the Knik Arm and the extensive Fort Richardson Military Reservation. This era shows a community in rapid transition, where the street grid of the city core meets burgeoning neighborhoods like Spenard and Mountain View. The strategic importance of the region is evident in the sprawling grounds of Elmendorf Air Force Base and the dual aviation hubs of Merrill Airport and the International Airport, complemented by the Hood Seaplane Base.
