1979 Map of Anchorage B-6 NW

About this map

Knik River braided channels dominate the northern lowlands of this late 1970s Alaskan landscape, where infrastructure meets the wilderness of Chugach State Park. The map documents a critical transportation and utility corridor, featuring the intersection of The Alaska Railroad, the Glenn Highway, and the Old Glenn Highway. High above the valley floor, the twin summits of East Twin Peak and West Twin Peak overlook the glacial waters of Eklutna Lake. The presence of the Eklutna Powerhouse, a Spillway, and a Landing Strip near the lake's western edge indicates the importance of this area for regional power generation and backcountry access. Local landmarks like Goat Lake and Lake Barbara are reached only by a Jeep Trail or Pack Trail, highlighting the area's transition from developed thoroughfares to the interior backcountry.
