1960 Map of Anchorage B-4

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Knik River valley and its surrounding ice fields define this mid-century Alaskan landscape, captured during a period of active aerial photogrammetry. The map documents a dynamic glacial environment where the Marcus Baker Glacier, Knik Glacier, and Gannett Glacier converge toward the river basin. A notable human element in this wilderness is the Landing Strip located in Grasshopper Valley, suggesting the era's reliance on bush aviation for access to remote mountain interior points.
