About this map

The Susitna River dominates the eastern edge of this interior landscape, carving a broad valley through the mountainous terrain of the Matanuska-Susitna region. In the northeast, the Denali Highway cuts across the upland slopes, providing a critical transportation link through this high-latitude wilderness. The drainage patterns are defined by several key tributaries, including Butte Cr and Wickersham Cr, which flow through deep-cut valleys toward the river basin. High-elevation features like Snodgrass Lake and the nearby Windy Cr illustrate the glacial and alpine water systems typical of this part of the Alaska Range. This 2016 survey documents the geography of the area just before significant environmental shifts, showing the precise relationship between the highway route and the surrounding waterways.
