About this map

The industrial coal-mining landscape of Wishbone Hill and the town of Sutton define this portion of the Matanuska Valley during the late 1970s. The map captures an era where active extraction and historical infrastructure overlapped, showing the Strip Mine operations to the north and various subterranean sites like the Jonesville Mine, Buffalo Mine, and the curiously named Matanuska Sinner Mine. These mining operations are tied together by the Old Railroad Grade and the Glenn Highway, tracing the movement of resources through the valley.
