U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey: Surficial Geologic Map of the Anchorage A-8 NE Quadrangle, Alaska
Part of the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson Resources project
Author(s): Ernest Dobrovolyn; Henry R. Schmoll; Yehle Lynn A.

Summary
This report details the Anchorage A-8 NE quadrangle series of maps created on a 1:25,000 scale in the upper Cook Inlet-Knik Arm region for which geologic and surficial geologic maps have been published. The quadrangle lies entirely within the Municipality of Anchorage. Suburban Anchorage extends from the west into the map area in two prongs; the west-central prong is the more densely populated of the two and includes local commercial and educational centers, whereas the southwestern prong has more widely spaced homes and fewer businesses. Exurban residential development is present in the community of Basher, an isolated square-mile area in the south-central part of the map area. Between the two main urbanized areas lies a largely undeveloped area around Campbell Airstrip that includes public parks and various government facilities. Chugach State Park occupies the mountainous southeastern part of the map area, and military reservations occupy the remainder: Elmendorf Air Force Base in the northwest and Fort Richardson in the north and east. The Alaska Railroad traverses the northwesternmost part of the area and the Glenn Highway crosses most of the northern part.
