1960 Map of Anchorage C-1

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Nelchina Glacier dominates the eastern expanse of this survey, its massive ice flow marked by extensive crevasses as it descends through the Chugach Mountains. The drainage patterns of the era are clearly defined, showing the South Fork Matanuska River carving through the western terrain while the Nelchina River flows north from the glacier's edge. High-elevation landmarks such as Mount Siegfried stand as prominent anchors in a landscape primarily defined by ice and water. Unlike many USGS quadrangles of this period, the map indicates no roads or trails, documenting a wilderness state where travel was dictated by the natural corridors of Middle Creek and the surrounding glacial valleys. This 1960 field-annotated record provides a specific look at glacial margins and fluvial features before modern climatic shifts altered these high-latitude ice fields.
