1960 Map of Anchorage B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Mount Marcus Baker dominates the northwestern corner of this Chugach Mountains landscape, serving as a massive high point for an intricate system of ice fields and calving glaciers. The map details the massive confluence of the Harvard Glacier as it flows south into the deep waters of Harvard Arm. This 1960 era survey, compiled from aerial photography, captures the positions of several significant ice flows including Radcliffe Glacier, Lowell Glacier, and Downer Glacier. To the east, the Yale Glacier and Meares Glacier carve through the high peaks near Mount Glenn. The lack of any roads or trails highlights the purely glacial and alpine nature of this interior region, where topography is defined by ice contours and jagged ridges rather than human settlement.
