U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey: Geologic Map of the Anchorage B-8 SE and Part of the Anchorage B-8 Quadrangles, Alaska
Part of the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson Resources project
Author(s): Ernest Dobrovolny; Yehle Lynn A.; Henry R. Schmoll
Year: 1990
Summary
This document consists of a report on the Anchorage B-8 SE quadrangle and part of the Anchorage B-8 NE quadrangle that lies along the southeast side of Knik Arm, one of the two upper extensions of Cook Inlet. The map area is located in south-central Alaska mainly within the Municipality of Anchorage. The northwestern part of the map area, entirely within Knik Arm, is part of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. Knik Arm, together with a broad embayment, Eagle Bay, occupies about one quarter of the map area. The Alaska Railroad and the Glenn Highway traverse the southern part of the map area from southwest to northeast. Except for these rights-of-way all of the land area is included within either Fort Richardson or Elmendorf Air Force Base. This map is one of a series in the Anchorage-Knik Arm region for which geologic maps have been completed recently at a scale of 1:25,000. The map of the Anchorage B-8 NE quadrangle by Reger (1981a) does not show any geology for that part included in our map.
