Willow and Houston Lake anchor this 2016 survey of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, where the transportation network of the Parks Highway and the Old Parks Highway dictates the modern settlement pattern. The landscape is defined by its extensive aviation infrastructure, featuring several private and community landing fields including Pan Lake Strip, Satterbergs Airport, and Black Spruce Airport. The watery terrain is a complex of named lakes and streams, from the large Nancy Lake and its Waldron Island to the winding course of the Little Susitna River and Deception Creek. This map illustrates how development has followed the high ground between these marshes and water bodies, with residential clusters linked by roads such as Zero Lake Road and Lynx Lake Road.
