1960 Map of Anchorage B-6

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Eklutna Lake dominates this 1960 landscape, stretching through a deep mountain valley south of the Knik River. The map highlights early infrastructure in the Chugach Mountains, including the Eklutna Powerhouse and the Eklutna Lake Airstrip at the water's northwestern edge. To the north, the Glenn Highway and the Alaska Railroad parallel the river delta, marking the vital transportation corridor connecting Anchorage to the interior. High-elevation landmarks like Pioneer Peak, East Twin Peak, and West Twin Peak overlook the glacial drainage systems of Goat Creek and Thunder Bird Creek. These features reflect a mid-century era of hydroelectric development and mountain access, providing a detailed record of the physical and industrial geography before later regional expansion.
