2016 Map of Anchorage C-4 NE

About this map

Coal Creek meanders through this high-elevation landscape of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, defining the drainage patterns of a region marked by significant topographic relief. This 2016 survey provides a precise look at the wilderness north of Anchorage, where steep contour lines reveal a complex network of ridges and valleys. While largely devoid of permanent human settlements or infrastructure, the map details the natural water systems that drain the peaks, including Riley Creek in the northwest and Ninemile Creek further east. These drainages serve as critical landmarks for understanding the hydrology and land-use history of this remote Alaskan interior, showing the land exactly as it appeared in the early 21st century.
