About this map

Rainy Pass Lodge Airport serves as a remote hub for backcountry access in this high-altitude landscape of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. Situated on the shores of Puntilla Lake, the facility is a key waypoint for travel through the interior, where the Happy River and Canyon Creek systems carve through the drainage basins of the Alaska Range. The surrounding terrain is defined by prominent elevations including Distin Peak to the northeast and Round Mtn in the central western section. This 2023 survey illustrates the complex hydrography of the region, tracing Lower Puntilla Creek as it connects to broader waterway networks. These labels represent a landscape where glacial runoff from Glacier Creek and Indian Creek feeds into the larger river valleys, highlighting the isolation and scale of the terrain between the Long Lake Hills and the higher northern peaks.
