About this map

Petersville Road serves as the primary artery through this interior Alaskan landscape, connecting isolated clearings and resources in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough during the late 1980s. The region is defined by an intricate network of water bodies and marshlands, with Moose Creek and its West Fork dominating the western portion while Trapper Creek and Ninemile Creek drain the eastern elevations. Human presence is concentrated around the central road corridor, evidenced by a Radio Tower and a Landing Strip, both critical infrastructure for communications and transport in a bush environment. Local industry and activity are further reflected by the inclusion of a Gravel Pit and proximity to several large lakes, including Scotty Lake, Sawmill Lake, and Long Lake. This map provides an essential record of the infrastructure and natural drainage patterns of the Susitna Valley at a time of continued northern expansion.
