About this map

The Yentna River flows through this expansive wetland and riverine landscape in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. The river’s winding course includes a prominent feature at Youngstown Bend, where the waterway creates a large loop through the low-lying terrain. The confluence of several major tributaries, including the Kichatna River and Gagnan Creek, highlights the complex drainage system of this remote Alaskan interior region. Small-scale human presence is recorded near the settlement of Dusdida in the southeastern portion of the map. Elevated landforms are few in this predominantly aquatic environment, though Gold Hill rises above the surrounding marshes and creek beds like Clearwater Creek and Donkey Creek. The map documents a territory defined by seasonal water flow and shifting river channels, critical for understanding the historical geography of these interior Alaskan waterways.
