2021 Map of Anchorage A-8 SW

About this map

Angelus Memorial Park and the aviation facilities at Flying Crown Airport and Sky Harbor Airport anchor the developed corridors of this landscape where the Anchorage Municipality meets the Kenai Peninsula Borough. The map captures a sophisticated network of suburban infrastructure, defined by the parallel paths of the Seward Highway and the Old Seward Highway. These arteries facilitate movement through residential developments like those along O'Malley Road and Huffman Road. Natural drainage patterns persist through the built environment, as seen with Rabbit Creek and Furrow Creek winding toward the coast. The transition from organized street grids to the open tidal areas of the inlet highlights the geographic boundary between upland settlement and the expansive waters south of the city center.
