1979 Map of Anchorage B-6 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

The braided channels of the Knik River dominate the northern landscape of this region, marking a sharp transition into the high elevations of Chugach State Park. This 1970s record, updated in the early 1990s, documents the infrastructure supporting the local hydro-economy, most notably the Eklutna Powerhouse and the extensive Eklutna Lake reservoir system. The map details the passage through the mountains via the Eklutna Pack Trail and tracks the development along the Glenn Highway and the Old Glenn Highway. High-altitude landmarks like East Twin Peak and West Twin Peak overlook a network of glacial waters including Goat Lake and Thechkatnu Creek. The boundary between the Municipality of Anchorage and Matanuska-Susitna Borough cuts directly through this wilderness, highlighting the area's role as a vital corridor between the Anchorage basin and the interior.
