About this map

Houston serves as the focal point of this late 20th-century survey, positioned along the banks of the Little Susitna River. The landscape is defined by the Houston Corporate Boundary and the expansive Tract A, revealing a mix of nascent suburban development and traditional Alaskan wilderness transit. The settlement area includes community infrastructure such as the City Hall and practical assets like a Gravel Pit and Boat Ramp.

A network of seasonal routes and permanent roads highlights the region's adaptation to its environment, with a prominent Winter Trail cutting through the northern reaches while Silver Drive and Armstrong Road provide more localized access. Water features are abundant throughout the terrain, including Deception Creek, Teakwood Lake, and Bench Lake. The presence of the Little Susitna River Campground and a Landing Strip underscores the area's role as a base for both local residents and backcountry navigation.
