1979 Map of Anchorage B-7 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Knik Arm shoreline meets the rising peaks of Chugach State Park in this 1970s record of the Cook Inlet region. This map documents a critical transportation corridor where The Alaska Railroad and the Glenn Highway parallel the coast, serving the village of Eklutna and the nearby Eklutna Siding. The landscape is defined by the transition from the marshy Duck Flats at the mouth of the Knik River to the high elevation of Mount Eklutna. Recreational and community sites are well-established by this era, including Mirror Lake State Wayside Park, Camp Gorsuch, and Chugach Camp. Notable industrial markers like a Quarry, several Gravel Pits, and a Substa indicate the infrastructure supporting the growth of the Anchorage Municipality. The interior is marked by the course of the Eklutna River and the secluded Thunder Bird Falls.
