1993 Map of Anchorage D-2

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

Matanuska River flows through the southern heart of this quadrangle, flanked by the high elevations of Sheep Mountain and Gunsight Mountain. The landscape is dominated by the massive Matanuska Glacier and numerous glacial tributaries like Glacier Creek and Gravel Creek. Travel through this demanding Alaskan interior was anchored by the Glenn Highway, which served as a lifeline for regional movement between established outposts. Historically significant transit points such as the Meekins Roadhouse and the Sheep Mountain Lodge appear along the road, while a Landing Strip near the lodge provides a look at the bush aviation network required for backcountry access. A prominent Tractor Trail follows the course of Caribou Creek, illustrating the heavy equipment tracks left by resource exploration or early transport before more permanent infrastructure reached into the northern ridges of Horn Mountain and Syncline Mountain.
