1951 Map of Anchorage D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Talkeetna Mountains and the Chugach Mountains converge in this high-altitude landscape, creating a critical corridor for Alaskan transportation. The Glenn Highway traverses the central valley, passing through Tahneta Pass and serving the remote Eureka Roadhouse. This settlement, accompanied by a small Airstrip, represents a vital stop for travelers and supplies moving through the interior during the early 1950s. The terrain is defined by a complex network of water bodies, including the braided Nelchina River to the east and the headwaters of the Matanuska River to the southwest. Significant local landmarks such as Eureka Lake and Lake Leila dot the glacial valley floor, while a Tractor Trail branching off the highway suggests early mechanized access to the surrounding peaks like Table Mtn and the crossing at Belanger Pass.
