1960 Map of Anchorage C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

The Matanuska Valley serves as the focal point of this 1960 survey, dominated by the sweeping glacial waters of the Matanuska River. Following the northern bank, the Glenn Highway provides the primary transit corridor through this high-altitude landscape, passing near the confluence of Kings River and the steep elevations of Pinnacle Mountain. The map illustrates a transition from the structured transportation route in the north to the glacial drainage systems of the south, where the Knik River and Finger Lakes emerge. Numerous tributaries, such as Little Granite Creek and Wolverine Creek, carve through the complex topography, indicating a landscape defined by significant water runoff and extreme relief. This documentation captures the area before extensive modern development, preserving the original path of the highway and the natural state of the river braids.
