2023 Map of Anchorage C-4 NW

About this map

Kings Mtn anchors the northwestern corner of this 2023 survey in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, where the terrain is defined by steep elevation changes and glacially carved valleys. The drainage system is dominated by north-south flowing water bodies, including Carbon Creek and Coal Creek, which underscore the geological character of the region. The map captures the significant presence of the Metal Creek Glacier in the southeast, feeding into the upper reaches of Metal Creek. The lack of road infrastructure or human settlements within these townships emphasizes the high-altitude wilderness of this portion of the Chugach Mountains, where topography and ice dictate the landscape's form. This data provides a precise record of the current extent of the ice fields and the intricate network of alpine streams defining this remote section of the Alaskan interior.
