1948 Map of Anchorage D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Eureka Roadhouse serves as a critical waypoint along the Glenn Highway in this northern Alaskan interior landscape. The map illustrates a high-altitude corridor where the road skirts the Seward Meridian and East Boundary, navigating the transition between the drainage of the Nelchina River to the east and the East Fork Matanuska River to the south. The terrain is defined by its glacial and alpine water systems, featuring a chain of lakes including Tahneta Lake, Lake Leila, Shallow Lake, and Long Lake. To the north, the topographic detail captures the steep ascents toward Table Mtn and the crossings at Belanger Pass and Tahneta Pass. A Tractor Trail branching off the main highway and a Radio Facility near Knob Lake indicate the sparse but essential infrastructure supporting travel and communication in this territory during the late 1940s.
