1948 Map of Anchorage D-4

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Matanuska River valley and its surrounding high country are captured here during a period of transition in the late 1940s. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the Talkeetna Mountains to the north and the Chugach Mountains to the south. Central to this area is the intersection of resource extraction and transit, evidenced by the Coal Mine (Aban'd) and the Cable Tramway near the riverbanks. The Glenn Highway provides the primary corridor through the valley, while the historic Chickaloon Knik Nelchina Trail suggests older patterns of overland travel.
