1952 Map of Anchorage D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The Talkeetna Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this 1952 topographic survey, where steep terrain drops toward the glacial valley of the Matanuska River. Along the southern corridor, the Glenn Highway provides the primary artery for transportation, winding past Castle Park and Thirtymile Lake. Early industrial activity in the region is evidenced by an Oil Well located near Drill Lake, while clusters of Cabins near Fish Lake suggest seasonal or remote habitation. The map highlights a complex drainage network where the Kings River and Granite Creek carve deep through the mountain blocks. Survey markers like VABM Castle 2914 and VABM King 3155 pinpoint prominent summits, including Castle Mountain and Kings Mtn, reflecting the detailed work of the U.S. Geological Survey and USC&GS in documenting this Alaskan interior before extensive modern development.
