Wasilla and the surrounding Matanuska-Susitna Valley are defined by a complex network of glacial lakes and residential expansion in this 2016 survey. The map details the transition from the concentrated commercial and transit hub of Wasilla, centered around Lucile Lake, to the rapidly developing suburban landscape of Knik-Fairview. Numerous private airstrips and small landings, such as Hess Airport, Piper Landing, and Kalmbach Airport, illustrate the unique aviation-dependent infrastructure of the Alaskan interior. Local history is anchored at the Wasilla Aurora Cem, while the natural drainage of Cottonwood Creek and Lucile Creek dictates the layout of the various subdivisions and roads. The southern portion of the sheet shows the settlement of Cottonwood and the winding course of Cottonwood Slough, providing a clear record of the area's hydrology and modern settlement patterns just before recent growth further altered the terrain.
