1962 Map of Anchorage

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Anchorage area and the sprawling Cook Inlet coastline are documented here in a 1985 revision that highlights the intersection of military infrastructure and the surrounding wilderness. Both Elmendorf Air Force Base and Fort Richardson dominate the landscape just north of the city center, while the Alaska Railroad and Glenn Highway provide the primary transit corridors through Chugiak and Eagle River. To the north, the Matanuska-Susitna Borough includes growing settlements like Wasilla and Palmer, set against the agricultural backdrop of the Matanuska River valley.
