About this map

Big Lake and its intricate network of surrounding waterways dominate this 1970s orthophotomosaic, revealing a landscape defined by glacial topography and emerging recreation. The transition from the Little Susitna River in the north toward the densely clustered basins of Horseshoe Lake, Mirror Lake, and Flat Lake highlights the region's unique hydrology. This era shows the early infrastructure supporting the Matanuska-Susitna area, including the Corporate Houston Boundary and the tracks of The Alaska RR cutting through the northeast corner.
