1979 Map of Anchorage B-7 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Knik Arm defines the western edge of this 1970s landscape, where the tides of the Palmer Slough meet a complex network of mudflats and channels near Coffee Point. The map illustrates the strategic and residential development of the Anchorage periphery, notably the expansive Fort Richardson Military Reservation and the corridor formed by The Alaska Railroad. The community of Birchwood serves as a hub for local infrastructure, featuring the Birchwood Airport and Birchwood Camp. Transportation is centered on the dual routes of the Glenn Highway and the Old Glenn Highway, which connect Chugiak to the broader region. Recreation and conservation areas are well-established, with Beach Lake Park and Elmendorf Moraine State Park preserving the area's glacial geography. Local details such as a Rodeo Ground and numerous Gravel Pits reflect the mid-century industrial and social character of this Alaskan sub-arctic environment.
