1994 Map of Anchorage B-5

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

Glacial dynamics and high-elevation terrain define this 1994 study of the Alaskan wilderness east of Anchorage. The Knik River valley serves as a primary drainage corridor, fed by massive ice fields including the Knik Glacier and Hunter Creek Glacier. The landscape is characterized by the interaction of ice and water, most notably where the Colony Glacier meets the waters of Inner Lake George. Dramatic elevation changes are marked by prominent summits like Bashful Peak and Mt Palmer, while the western portion of the sheet is protected within the Chugach State Park. The map also captures the administrative boundary between the Matanuska-Susitna Borough and the Municipality of Anchorage, illustrating how these massive natural features dictate local political geography.
