About this map

The settlement at Houston serves as the industrial and transportation hub for this portion of the Matanuska-Susitna region during the early 1950s. Positioned along the Alaska Railroad, the area's economy is clearly tied to resource extraction, as evidenced by the Coal Mine, Houston Strip Mine, and a nearby Gravel Pit. The map captures a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways and glacial lakes, including the expansive Big Lake, Nancy Lake, and the winding course of the Little Susitna River.
