1952 Map of Anchorage D-2

About this map

Meekins Roadhouse stands as a primary waypoint along the Glenn Highway in this mid-century look at the high country between the Talkeetna Mountains and the Chugach Mountains. The landscape is dominated by the massive Matanuska Glacier and the braided channels of the Matanuska River, providing a clear view of the transportation corridor before extensive modernization. A solitary Airstrip and a network of paths like the Tractor Trail highlight the reliance on small aircraft and heavy machinery for navigating the interior. Distinctive landmarks such as Gunsight Mountain and Lion Head serve as natural beacons for travelers and geologists alike. This survey records the region's topography just after the post-war expansion of the Alaskan highway system, capturing the placement of essential roadhouses and remote mountain peaks such as Horn Mountain and VABM Guns 6441.
