1979 Map of Anchorage B-7 SE

About this map

Chugach State Park dominates this 1970s topographic record, where the high ridges of Mount Magnificent oversee a landscape of deep valleys and shifting glacial drainage. The Eagle River snakes through the southern portion of the quadrangle, paralleled by the Lower Eagle River Trail, while Peters Creek and Meadow Creek cut significant paths through the northeast. This era of mapping shows the transition of the Anchorage periphery into a preserved wilderness area, with the Seward Meridian providing the primary survey control for the surrounding municipal lands. The map emphasizes the natural drainage patterns and elevation contours that have long dictated the expansion of the Anchorage basin.
