2013 Map of Anchorage C-2 SE

About this map

Matanuska Glacier dominates the northern reaches of this high-elevation terrain in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. This landscape is defined by its high summits, including a cluster of peaks named for Nordic nations: Denmark Peak, Norway Peak, Sweden Peak, and Finland Peak. The map provides an intricate look at the glacial geography and steep topographic contours that characterize this portion of the Chugach Mountains. Surveyed in 2013, the document captures the precise state of the ice and mountain ridges, offering a specific record of the glacial extent and drainage patterns that feed into the larger river systems of the region. The lack of roads or established settlements emphasizes the wilderness character of these highlands, where geographic features are defined primarily by ice and elevation.
