2023 Map of Anchorage D-1 SW

About this map

Eureka Roadhouse and the small settlement of Glacier View anchor the northern reaches of this Alaskan landscape, positioned along the vital corridor of the Glenn Highway. The map details a transition from the accessible roadside areas, including Alascom Road, into the drainage systems of the East Fork Matanuska River. This high-elevation terrain is defined by its hydrography, where alpine water bodies like Lake Leila, Trail Lake, and Knob Lake feed into local tributaries including Trail Creek and Middle Creek. The prominence of Knob Hill provides a distinct topographical landmark in an area otherwise dominated by the expansive valley of the river's east fork. The layout of these features reflects the remote nature of the Matanuska-Susitna region, where human activity is tightly clustered near the primary highway artery.
