1979 Map of Anchorage C-7 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Wasilla stands as the primary hub in this late 1970s orthophotomosaic, where the corridor of The Alaska Railroad skirts the northern shore of Lucile Lake. The landscape is a complex network of glacial kettle lakes and drainage systems, including Meadow Lakes, Kalmbach Lake, and Beverly Lake. This era shows a community in transition, with local education centers like Iditarod Sch and transportation infrastructure such as the Airport and Jackfish Landing Strip supporting the growing Matanuska-Susitna population. Commercial activity is evidenced by several Gravel Pits along the rail line and roads like Church Road. To the south, the terrain descends toward the saltwater influence of the Palmer Slough, where Cottonwood Creek and Goose Bay Creek navigate the lowlands before meeting the inlet tide flats.
