1948 Map of Anchorage D-4
USGS Topo · Published 1995About this map
The Matanuska River valley and the high Talkeetna Mountains define this 1948 landscape, capturing a moment when access to the Alaskan interior relied on a mix of modern infrastructure and established wilderness routes. The Glenn Highway runs parallel to the river, connecting small outposts like Harrison L and providing access to the Coal Mine (Aband) near Coal Creek. This industrial footprint is balanced by historical transport relics, including the Chickaloon Knik Nelchina Trail and a Cable Tramway crossing the main river channel.
