1952 Map of Anchorage A-8

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Anchorage and its mid-century suburbs spread across the lowland between Knik Arm and Turnagain Arm in this post-war survey. The map records a city in rapid transition, where the established grid of the downtown core and Mountain View meets newer residential developments like Artesian Village, Spenard, and Turnagain Heights. Major transportation hubs are prominently featured, including the central Merrill Airport and the expanding International Airport to the southwest, while the Alaska Railroad skirts the coastline.
