About this map

Metal Creek and Friday Creek dominate the drainage patterns of this Alaskan landscape within the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. This high-altitude topographic study, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, details a terrain defined by significant elevation changes and glacial-fed waterways. The mapping includes the headwaters and descent of Cottonwood Creek, providing a clear view of the hydrological connections between these tributaries. The alignment of these creeks relative to the township and range boundaries, such as t18n r6e and t17n r5e, illustrates the intersection of natural geography with the Public Land Survey System in this part of the state. It remains a primary reference for understanding the physical layout of the region as it existed in the early twenty-first century.
