1979 Map of Tyonek A-1 NE

About this map

Knik Arm and Turnagain Arm converge in this detailed mapping of the Anchorage coastline as it appeared in the late 1970s, with revisions through the early 1990s. The landscape is defined by its strategic infrastructure and massive intertidal zones, including North Point Shoal and Woronzof Shoal. The western edge of the city is anchored by the sprawling Anchorage International Airport, while the coast is preserved through the Anchorage Coastal State Wildlife Refuge and the extensive Tony Knowles Coastal Trail. The inclusion of Fire Island to the west, featuring a landing strip and radio facility, highlights the area's importance for regional aviation and navigation. On the mainland, Campbell-Kincaid Park provides a significant recreational buffer between the airport and the residential corridors along Jodhpur Street and Dimond Blvd.
