1948 Map of Anchorage D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Matanuska River valley travelers in the late 1940s relied on a handful of crucial outposts like the Meeking Roadhouse and Sheep Mountain Inn along the Glenn Highway. This landscape is dominated by massive geological formations, from the sprawling Matanuska Glacier and Rock Glacier in the south to the high peaks of the Talkeetna Mountains and Horn Mountains in the north. The presence of an Airstrip and a Tractor Trail near Caribou Creek indicates the early mechanical footprints in this wilderness, while the distinct Lion Head formation stands as a landmark for navigation.
