2016 Map of Mount Hayes B-6 NW

About this map

The Alaska Range dominates this terrain, where glacial movement and high-altitude water systems define the remote landscape. In the northern reaches of the map, the Susitna Glacier terminates among high ridges, feeding the intricate network of meltwater streams that eventually form the East Fork Susitna River. This waterway, also labeled as the E Fork Susitna River in its lower stretches, winds through a wide valley floor marked by seasonal braided channels. The map captures a high-altitude wilderness at a jurisdictional crossroads, showing where the boundaries of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, the Denali Borough Southeast Fairbanks Census Area, and other regional divisions converge across the ridgelines. The land is largely defined by its natural contours and the absence of human infrastructure, representing the raw geography of the interior at the start of the 21st century.
