1950 Map of Anchorage C-8
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
Houston and Pittman emerge as key points of human activity along the Alaska Railroad corridor in the mid-20th century. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of water bodies, notably the sprawling Big Lake and the Susitna River, which anchors the northern section of the survey. The presence of the Houston Strip Mine and a nearby Gravel Pit indicates early industrial extraction, while the Big Lake Airstrip and Big Lake No 2 Airstrip highlight the importance of aviation in this road-limited region.
