U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey: Geologic Map of the Anchorage B-8 SW Quadrangle, Alaska

Author(s): Ernest Dobrovolny; Lynn A. Yehle; Harry R. Schmoll

Year: 1991

Summary

This resources is a report on the Anchorage B-8 SW Quadrangle, Alaska. The area of this map is located in south-central Alaska mainly within the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. The southeastern part is within the Municipality of Anchorage. Knik Arm, one of the two upper extensions of Cook Inlet. bisects the map area north to south. All land east of Knik Arm is included within Elmendorf Air Force Base and is substantially occupied by various facilities connected by a road network. Most of the area west of Knik Arm has undergone relatively little development. Scattered homesteads in this area are isolated from the road network, but some have access from beachheads. Locally, the beach itself provides a route for off-road vehicles, as do winter trails. Only one road connects the area to the rest of the Alaska road network. This map is one of a series of geologic maps of the Anchorage-Knik Arm region for which geologic maps have been published at a scale of 1 :25,000.
