1979 Map of Anchorage C-6 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

The Matanuska River flows through the heart of this Alaskan landscape, defining the transition between the valley floor and the rising slopes of Wishbone Hill. Recorded in the late 1970s with updates into the early 1990s, the map documents the industrial and civic development of the Matanuska Valley State Moose Range. To the north, evidence of coal extraction is visible at the Strip Mine and the historical Jonesville (Site). Settlement patterns are concentrated near the Glenn Highway, including the community of Sutton and the Palmer State Correctional Center. Transportation history is embedded in the terrain through an Old Railroad Grade that parallels the river, tracing the path of former rail lines that once connected these mining and timber areas. Numerous alpine lakes such as Wolverine Lake, Wishbone Lake, and Seventeenmile Lake dot the elevations above the river basin.
