1951 Map of Anchorage C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Palmer serves as the focal point of the Matanuska Valley in this early 1950s survey, showing a landscape defined by coal mining and agricultural settlement. Industrial activity is concentrated at the base of Wishbone Hill, where several significant operations such as the Evan Jones Mine, Buffalo Mine, and New Black Diamond Mine are connected to the rail network. The Alaska Railroad follows the path of the Matanuska River, linking these mines through Sutton and Jonesville toward the regional hub.
