1965 Map of Anchorage B-8

About this map

The glacial landscape of the Elmendorf Moraine meets the tidal expanse of Knik Arm in this survey of the northern Cook Inlet region. This era captures a significant military presence at Fort Richardson Military Reservation and Elmendorf Air Force Base, showing the early footprint of these installations alongside Bryant Field. The landscape is defined by vast areas of Mud and Eagle River Flats, contrasting with the numerous kettle lakes that dot the moraine, such as Otter Lake and Sixmile Lake. Transportation is a central theme, with the Alaska Railroad and Glenn Highway providing modern transit while older routes like the Iditarod Trail and several versions of a Winter Trail speak to the area's historic overland connections. The small settlement at Knik sits on the western shore of the arm, a remnant of the region's earlier commercial importance.
