About this map

Eklutna serves as the focal point for this survey, situated where the Eklutna River meets the expansive Knik Arm. The map documents a critical transportation corridor during the late 20th century, showing the parallel paths of the Glenn Highway, Old Glenn Highway, and the Eklutna Siding railroad track. The infrastructure supporting this coastal region is evident through the inclusion of an Aqueduct, a Water Treatment Plant, and a Substa near the river.

Natural landmarks define the surrounding terrain, from the marshy Duck Flats at the confluence of the Matanuska River and Knik River to the soaring heights of Mount Eklutna. Recreators and residents alike are noted through sites such as Mirror Lake State Wayside Park, Chugach Camp, and the notable Thunder Bird Falls. The inclusion of a Cem at Eklutna provides valuable location data for genealogists tracing local history in this part of the Chugach State Park vicinity.
