1976 Map of Anchorage D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Matanuska River carves a deep valley through the northern reaches of the Chugach Mountains in this mid-1970s record of south-central Alaska. This landscape is dominated by the massive Matanuska Glacier and distinctive geological formations like Syncline Mountain and the jagged Fortress Mountain. Along the Glenn Highway, the map captures the essential roadside infrastructure of the era, notably the Meekins Roadhouse and the Sheep Mountain Lodge, which served as vital stops for travelers moving between Anchorage and the Interior. A Landing Strip and a Tractor Trail highlight the reliance on bush aviation and specialized transport in this remote corridor. The intersection of the East Fork and the main river channel, overseen by the prominent Lion Head landmark, illustrates the complex drainage patterns of the Horn Mountain region.
