1979 Map of Anchorage
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
The Chugach Mountains and Talkeetna Mountains dominate this 1970s landscape, providing a dramatic backdrop for the expanding Municipality of Anchorage. The sheet captures the city's strategic importance during the late Cold War era, anchored by Elmendorf Air Force Base and the Fort Richardson Military Reservation. To the north, the growing communities of Wasilla and Palmer mark the agricultural and residential development of the Matanuska Valley, connected to the capital by the Alaska Railroad and the Glenn Highway.
