1949 Map of Anchorage D-8

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Willow Creek and the Kashwitna River define the drainage patterns of this Alaskan landscape, captured during a 1949 photogrammetric survey and later revised in the 1980s. The area is characterized by a dense network of watercourses including Little Willow Creek, Iron Creek, and Rogers Creek. While much of the terrain is dominated by natural features and survey markers like VABM 8168 Willow, early transportation infrastructure is visible in the southern portion of the sheet. The presence of the Willow Road and a Winter Trail near Twentymile Lake and Teakwood Lake highlights the seasonal nature of travel and access in the Matanuska-Susitna region during the mid-20th century. These routes served as vital links before the modern expansion of the regional highway system.
