Coal mining and rail infrastructure define this portion of the Matanuska Valley during the early 1950s. The northern reaches are dominated by the industrial operations at Evan Jones Mine, the New Black Diamond Mine, and the Premier Mine near Jonesville. These sites were linked to the broader economy via The Alaska Railroad, which skirts the Matanuska River toward Sutton.
