Metal Creek carves a significant drainage path through the high-elevation terrain of this Matanuska-Susitna region, joined by the headwaters of Cottonwood Creek and Friday Creek. This 2016 survey documents a landscape defined by dramatic vertical relief and glacial hydrology, where the absence of roads or permanent settlements underscores the primitive state of this mountain environment. The topographic data captures the intricate network of ridgelines and ravines within the Public Land Survey System boundaries of t17n r6e, t18n r6e, and surrounding townships. For the modern explorer or geologist, the map serves as a primary record of the seasonal drainage patterns and steep-walled valleys that characterize this portion of the Anchorage C-4 SW quadrangle.
