1960 Map of Anchorage B-6

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Eklutna Lake dominates this portion of the northern Chugach Range, serving as a focal point for the mountain landscape south of the Knik River. The survey captures the infrastructure of the mid-20th century, including the Eklutna Powerhouse and the Eklutna Lake Landing Strip, which reflect the area's development for utility and accessibility. The transportation corridor is clearly defined in the northwest, where the Glenn Highway and the Alaska Railroad skirt the base of Pioneer Peak. Inside the boundaries of Chugach State Park, the topography rises steeply toward massive summits like Bold Peak and The Mitre. To the south, the massive Eklutna Glacier feeds the valley, illustrating the glacial processes that shaped the drainage of Thunder Bird Creek and Peters Creek.
