About this map

The Kashwitna River and its North Fork dominate this landscape in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, revealing a complex drainage system before significant modern development. The southern portion of the map is defined by the convergence of several waterways including Willow Creek and Deception Creek, where the local transportation network begins to take shape. While much of the terrain is defined by water, human transit is represented by the Willow Road and the Winter Trail, providing insight into the seasonal access patterns of the mid-century Alaskan interior.
