2013 Map of Anchorage B-6 SW

About this map

Peeking Mountain and Thunder Bird Peak dominate this 2013 survey of the Chugach Mountains interior, documenting a landscape defined by extreme vertical relief and glacial drainages. This high-elevation sector within the Anchorage municipality lacks any permanent roads or settlements, revealing instead the raw topography of the Alaskan wilderness. The map traces the upper reaches of Peters Cr as it carves through deep valleys, joined by the headwaters of Thunder Bird Cr. For the cartographic researcher or explorer, the sheet provides a precise look at the contour-rich transition between these prominent summits, where the elevation often shifts thousands of feet within a single section. It serves as a clear record of the area's natural state before the potential impact of long-term climate changes on its subarctic drainage patterns.
