1952 Map of Anchorage C-7

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Wasilla serves as the primary hub of activity in this 1952 topographic survey, situated where The Alaska Railroad intersects a developing network of rural roads. The landscape transition is stark, shifting from the high elevations of Bald Mountain Ridge and Government Peak in the north to the low-lying lacustrine plains in the south. The presence of the Thorpe Mine near Grubstake Gulch points to the area's early mining interests, while the proliferation of named water bodies like Lucile Lake, Finger Lake, and Wasilla Lake indicates a territory defined by its glacial hydrology. Transport is already anchoring the region, with the Airport and early corridors like Fishhook Road and Seward Meridian Road providing the framework for the modern Matanuska-Susitna Valley's growth.
