USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Anchorage and its surrounding military and transportation hubs are caught in a period of significant mid-century expansion along the Knik Arm. This survey highlights the city's transition into a regional aviation center, showing both the established Merrill Airport and the development of the International Airport near Lake Spenard. The landscape is dominated by federal footprints, including Elmendorf Air Force Base and the Fort Richardson Military Reservation, which border residential areas like Mountain View and Artesian Village.
