1950 Map of Anchorage C-8

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Alaska Railroad cuts a prominent line across this terrain, connecting the small settlements of Houston and Pittman during a period of post-war expansion. This survey reveals an economy and landscape defined by the intersection of resource extraction and the water-rich geography of the Matanuska-Susitna region. The Houston Strip Mine stands as a clear indicator of local industry, while the dense concentration of water bodies like Big Lake, Nancy Lake, and the Little Susitna River illustrates the complexity of the local drainage system.
