1961 Map of Seldovia D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Anchor Point and the coastal settlements of the Kenai Peninsula are captured here during a period of infrastructure expansion in the early 1960s. The Sterling Highway serves as the primary artery along the Cook Inlet coast, connecting the settlement of Happy Valley to the southern reaches of the peninsula. Inland, the landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Deep Creek, Stariski Creek, and the Chakok River, which flow through a terrain dotted with numerous small lakes and marshes. The map reveals the early footings of local industry and recreation, from the Gravel Pit near Cape Starichkof to the Stariski Campground and the Airstrip at Anchor Point. Local development is further evidenced by Pioneer Road pushing eastward toward the highlands near Epperson Knob, illustrating the post-war push into the Alaskan wilderness.
