1951 Map of Anchorage C-7
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
Wasilla sits at the heart of this mid-century landscape, positioned along the critical path of The Alaska Railroad and the junction of Fishhook Road and Bogard Road. The terrain is defined by a dramatic transition from the high elevations of Bald Mountain Ridge and Government Peak in the north down to the complex drainage systems of the Little Susitna River and Wasilla Creek. A dense network of lakes, including Lucile Lake, Wasilla Lake, and Cottonwood Lake, indicates a geography shaped by glacial retreat and rich in water resources. To the south, the landscape softens into the Duck Flats near the confluence with the Matanuska River. This survey captures the region before its modern expansion, highlighting early infrastructure like the Airport and numerous gravel pits that fueled local road construction.
