About this map

Anchorage serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, where the urban grid meets the waters of Knik Arm. The map documents a period of significant growth and military infrastructure, showing the expansive Elmendorf Air Force Base to the north and the complex aviation network of Merrill Field and the Hood Lake Seaplane Base. Inland, the landscape is defined by a series of glacial lakes including Sand Lake, Campbell Lake, and Lake Spenard, which are interconnected by the winding paths of Chester Creek and Campbell Creek.
