1953 Map of Anchorage A-8

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The growing city of Anchorage and its expanding residential outskirts define this mid-century period of development along the Knik Arm. The map reveals a transition from the urban grid into specialized clusters and small settlements such as Spenard, Mountain View, and Artesian Village. Infrastructure for the post-war era is prominent, featuring the International Airport and the Seaplane Base on Hood Lake, while military influence is anchored by Fort Richardson Military Res and Elmendorf Air Force Base.
