2013 Map of Anchorage B-3 NW

About this map

The Matanuska-Susitna and Valdez-Cordova boundary line cuts through this high-altitude landscape, where the movement of ice dominates the geography. This 2013 survey provides a detailed topographic view of two major ice fields: the Marcus Baker Glacier in the north and the Knik Glacier to the south. The intricate contour lines reveal the massive elevation changes and the flow patterns of these frozen giants. Unlike many topographic sheets that document human settlement and infrastructure, this map is defined by its nearly total absence of roads or structures, focusing instead on the raw physical geography of the Chugach Mountains. It serves as a precise record of glacial extent and the natural divide between these two administrative regions during the early 21st century.
