1979 Map of Anchorage A-8 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The growing city of Anchorage and its expanding suburban districts are captured here during a period of significant post-statehood development. The landscape is defined by its extensive aviation and military infrastructure, from the runways of Elmendorf Air Force Base and Merrill Field to the sprawl of the Anchorage International Airport and Kulis Air Nat Guard Base. Residential growth is evident in established neighborhoods like Spenard, Mountain View, and Turnagain Heights. Along the coast, Earthquake Park serves as a reminder of the region's seismic history, while the tracks of the Alaska Railroad trace the shoreline of the Knik Arm. The map reveals a high density of civic institutions, including West High Sch, Providence Hospital, and the Memorial Park (Cem), alongside numerous community spaces like Elderberry Park and Delaney Park.
