About this map

Eagle River and its neighboring settlements of Chugiak and Birchwood sit at the base of the Chugach foothills in this 1960 survey, illustrating a period of residential and military expansion along the Glenn Highway. The coastal landscape is defined by the expansive mud flats of the Knik Arm and the southern reaches of the Fort Richardson Military Reservation. Transportation and logistics are central to the area's layout, shown by the route of the Alaska Railroad and the presence of the Birchwood Auxiliary Airfield.
