1979 Map of Anchorage C-8 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1997

About this map

The expansive waters of Big Lake dominate this 1993 revised landscape in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, where a network of recreational sites and residential pockets follows the irregular shoreline. The map reveals a transition from the structured recreational access at Big Lake North State Recreation Site and Big Lake South State Recreation Site to the more remote stretches of the Little Susitna River in the north. This era reflects the area's growth as a hub for lake-based activity, featuring numerous Boat Docks and a Radio Facility near Colt Lake. Inland, the terrain is defined by a dense cluster of water bodies including Horseshoe Lake, West Beaver Lake, and the uniquely shaped Hourglass Lake. Traces of industrial and transportation infrastructure appear through scattered Gravel Pits and the long Winter Trail corridors that cross the marshy lowlands.
