047.jpg "Homesteaders" from Ohio clear farmland, Matanuska Valley, Alaska, 1947, Neg.# 572-110
The distant Chucagh mountains ringed this secluded valley near Anchorage and shielded it
from north winds. Good growing conditions and cheap land made this the only viable farm region
in Alaska, after World War II.
