About this map

The Susitna River and Chulitna River converge in this section of the Susitna Valley, defining a landscape dominated by complex braided river systems and expansive wetlands. The settlement of Chase serves as a focal point near the eastern banks, connected to the surrounding wilderness by the Chase Trail. To the west, the community of Trapper Creek sits near the edge of the survey area, positioned amongst a dense network of water bodies including Whiskers Creek and Dog Hair Creek. The map documents a characteristic Alaskan interior environment where transport and habitation are dictated by the shifting paths of glacial rivers. Scattered lakes such as Snowflake Lake, Devore Lake, and Willie Lake fill the low-lying basins between the major drainage systems of Wiggle Creek and Chunilna Creek.
