The map
About this Anchorage map poster
Anchorage sits on a broad lowland between Knik Arm and Turnagain Arm, the two branches at the head of Cook Inlet, with the Chugach Mountains rising abruptly to the east. Downtown is laid out on a simple grid of numbered avenues and lettered streets. From there the city spreads south and east across a wide bowl of neighbourhoods, greenbelts and creeks.
The city grew from a railroad construction camp in 1914 and was reshaped by the 1964 earthquake, which set off major landslides along the coast. Earthquake Park now marks one of them. Lake Hood, next to the international airport, is among the busiest seaplane bases in the world, and the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail follows the shoreline for miles.
An Anchorage map poster shows a city defined by edges: tidal flats along the inlet, the sharp line where the mountains begin, and the long green corridors of creeks such as Chester and Campbell running between neighbourhoods. The regular downtown grid and the lakes by the airport make strong focal points in the composition.

Lake Hood and Spenard
Lake Hood and Lake Spenard, joined together beside the airport, form a distinctive pair of water shapes and are busy with floatplanes for much of the year.
Coastal Trail
The trail follows the curving shoreline of Knik Arm past Earthquake Park and Point Woronzof, tracing the edge where the city meets the tidal flats.

Why Anchorage
A map that means something
Anchorage is a place of arrivals and departures: military families, seasonal workers, pilots and people who came for a few years and stayed. A map of the city holds that particular geography of home, between the inlet and the mountains.
