1979 Map of Anchorage A-8 NE
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
The growing urban landscape of Anchorage meets the wilderness at the base of the Chugach Mountains in this late 1970s topographical record. The map reveals a city in transition, where established neighborhoods like Hillside and Whitney expand alongside massive military installations at Elmendorf Air Force Base and the Fort Richardson Military Reservation. The proliferation of educational institutions, such as Alaska Methodist Univ and Service-Hanshew High Sch, underscores the rapid mid-century development of the region.
