2023 Map of Anchorage D-1 SE

About this map

Eureka Roadhouse serves as the primary landmark in this remote section of the Matanuska-Susitna borough, marking a historic stop for travelers in south-central Alaska. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling braided channels of the Nelchina River, which flows southward through the eastern half of the map. To the west, the terrain transitions into a complex system of highlands and water bodies, including Goober Lake and the drainage of Beattie Creek. This 2023 survey illustrates the sparse settlement patterns typical of the region, where wide river valleys and glacial hydrology dictate the placement of human infrastructure. The map provides a clear look at the public land survey system grid, reflecting how this vast wilderness is organized and managed by agencies like the Bureau of Land Management.
