1948 Map of Anchorage D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Matanuska Glacier and the Matanuska River dominate the southern reach of this landscape, where the ice and water carved out the dramatic geography of the Chugach Mountains. The 1948 survey documents the vital transportation corridor along the Glenn Highway, a route punctuated by essential traveler stops like the Meekins Roadhouse and Sheep Mountain Lodge. These establishments represent the mid-century infrastructure of the Alaskan interior, providing refuge and supplies along the mountain pass.
