Map Your Anchorage, a hybrid of art, community and design, is being administered by the Anchorage Park Foundation.
While many people record their movements and favorite stops, not all maps fit that mold. There are maps created to depict certain scenes, sights and even speculation.
In the Map Your Manhattan project, the maps were sparse, with Central Park floating in the middle and Broadway representing a major north/south thoroughfare.But initially, many Anchorage residents struggled to gain their bearings with their local map, so more streets were added to give more context. “The Park Foundation was also really interested in seeing, how did they get out of where they were, and what did they see?” Brown said. “How far did they go? ... A lot of this is people’s relationship to place.”
The maps could even be useful for visitors, Brown said. The first submission included the six best outdoor metal sculptures in Anchorage.
