About this map

The massive Knik Glacier and Colony Glacier dominate this glacial landscape within the Anchorage municipality, where ice, water, and stone are in constant transition. The drainage of the Lake Fork Knik River connects a series of significant water bodies, including Upper Lake George, Inner Lake George, and Lower Lake George. This interconnected system is defined by narrow passages and natural barriers such as The Gorge and the elevated Low Ridge. High-altitude features like Mount Palmer and the Hunter Creek Glacier overlook the complex valley floor, where seasonal flows from Troublesome Cr and Fourteen Cr feed into the primary river system. This terrain is characterized by the dynamic relationship between advancing or receding ice and the resulting lakes, with topographic landmarks like Colony Point and the Crossway providing orientation within the remote wilderness area.
