USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
Anchorage and its surrounding wilderness are shown here in the early 1960s, a period of transition for the region's transport and industry. The Alaska Railroad and Glenn Highway serve as the primary conduits for commerce, connecting the urban center to outlying coal and gold mining districts like Sutton and Jonesville. Further north, the Independence Mine State Historical Park and the Premier Mine reflect the area’s extractive heritage near the Talkeetna Mountains.
