USGS Topo · Published 1951About this map
Fort Richardson and Elmendorf Air Force Base anchor the military and logistical heart of south-central Alaska at the start of the 1950s. The post-war landscape reveals a concentration of development between Anchorage and the coal and gold districts of the Matanuska and Susitna valleys. Significant industrial activity is evident along the Alaska Railroad and the Glenn Highway, with several active extraction sites like the Lucky Shot Mine, Independence Mine, and Evan Jones Mine.
