2016 Map of Anchorage C-5 NE

About this map

The Matanuska River flows across the northern edge of this Matanuska-Susitna Borough landscape, shadowed by the vital transport corridor of the Glenn Highway. This area is defined by massive relief and glacial drainage patterns, where elevations rise steeply from the river valley toward prominent peaks like Kings Mtn in the northeast and Pinnacle Mtn to the west. The drainage network is carved by several distinct waterways, including Carpenter Cr and Linguist Cr, which descend through deep valleys between the mountains. Native geographic identifiers like Bel’uyedi Tayena appear alongside these peaks, reflecting the complex cultural and natural history of the Alaska Range foothills. The map provides a precise look at the 2016 topography, marking the transition from the river basin into the high mountain wilderness.
