About this map

The complex shoreline of Big Lake dominates this landscape in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, illustrating a region defined by its dense network of interconnected waterways and recreational developments. During the late 1970s and through the early 1990s revisions, the area transitioned into a hub for outdoor access, evidenced by the Big Lake North State Recreation Site Campground and the Rocky Lake State Recreation Site Campground. The map details a unique transport geography where traditional roads like Burma Road and North Shore Drive meet specialized infrastructure like the Big Lake Airport and several remote landing strips. Distinctive family-named or character-rich landmarks such as Never-Never Lake, Root Beer Lake, and Lake Marion are scattered across the terrain, while the Little Susitna River meanders through the northern section, marking the boundary of Tract B.
