About this map

The glacial Elmendorf Moraine dominates the landscape of this coastal Alaskan region, where the Knik Arm defines the western shore of the Anchorage area in the late 1970s. The map captures a critical tactical and recreational hub centered around Elmendorf Air Force Base, showing a network of specialized infrastructure including the Hillberg Ski Area, a Campground, and a Landing Strip. These features are situated among a dense concentration of water bodies such as Lake Lorraine, Spring Lake, and Green Lake, illustrating how military development integrated with the natural lake-studded terrain.
