1952 Map of Anchorage D-3

About this map

The Matanuska River carves a massive valley between the southern Chugach Mountains and the northern Talkeetna Mountains in this early 1950s survey. The landscape is dominated by the retreat of the Matanuska Glacier and the industrial-era push of the Glenn Highway through the mountain passes. The presence of Anthracite Ridge suggests the geologic wealth of the region, while isolated outposts like the Watchtower Inn and a lonely Cabin near Index Lake show the sparse, road-dependent settlement pattern of the interior at this time.
