2023 Map of Anchorage D-6 NW

About this map

The Kashwitna River cuts a wide path through this interior Alaska landscape, defining the central geography of this section of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. The terrain is marked by the sharp relief of high mountain ridges and deep valleys, where Bartholf Creek flows southward through the eastern survey sections. While the area is largely dominated by unpopulated alpine territory, the label for Willow appears in the western portion of the map, indicating the outskirts or extended vicinity of this historic railbelt community. The map provides a look at the Public Land Survey System grid across T22N R1E and T21N R2E, highlighting how federal land divisions were imposed upon the complex river systems and high-elevation topography of the Talkeetna Mountains fringe in the early twenty-first century.
