Sheep Mountain Lodge and the adjacent Sheep Mountain Airport serve as a focal point of human activity along the Glenn Hwy in this high-altitude corridor. The landscape is defined by the massive presence of Sheep Mountain and Gunsight Mountain, which stand watch over the confluence of glacial drainages. This 2013 survey illustrates the complex hydrology of the region, where the E Fork Matanuska River and South Fork Matanuska River merge to form the Matanuska River. Numerous smaller tributaries like Inoceramus Cr, Yellow Jacket Cr, and Rock Glacier Cr cut through the steep topography, while Bug Lake sits near the western edge of the highway. The map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure and natural features that support transportation and recreation in this part of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough.
