1979 Map of Anchorage C-8 NE

About this map

The Little Susitna River meanders across the southern landscape of this 1979 survey, defining a corridor of transport and utility near the edge of the Houston Corporate Boundary. Evidence of local infrastructure is clear along the riverbanks, where a Landing Strip, a Gravel Pit, and a Campground suggest a hub of seasonal activity and resource extraction. The northern and central sections are characterized by a network of water bodies and seasonal paths, including the prominent Winter Trail and the winding course of Deception Creek. Scattered lakes such as Teakwood Lake, Zero Lake, and Bench Lake punctuate the terrain, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of the Matanuska-Susitna region during this era of late-twentieth-century development.
