1979 Map of Anchorage A-8 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Elmendorf Air Force Base and the Fort Richardson Military Reservation dominate the northern landscape of this Alaska map, reflecting the heavy military footprint that shaped the city's mid-century expansion. The urban transition of Anchorage is documented through its dense network of schools and hospitals, including Providence Hospital and the University of Alaska Anchorage. Residential neighborhoods such as Mountain View and Whitney are shown alongside major transport arteries like the Alaska Railroad and the Glenn Highway. To the east and south, the terrain rises into the foothills of the Chugach Mountains, where the suburban edge meets the wilder reaches of Far North Bicentennial Park and Chugach State Park. The map illustrates the city's complex hydrology, from the industrial banks of Ship Creek to the braided forks of Chester Creek and Campbell Creek.
