About this map

Peters Hills and the Little Peters Hills dominate the western landscape of this quadrangle, where a legacy of resource extraction is evident along the watercourses. Extensive Placer Mines and significant Dredge Tailings line the banks of Cache Creek and Peters Creek, marking the industrial footprint of gold seeking in the region. The small settlement of Petersville serves as the primary human landmark, supported by a Landing Strip and a network of Cabins scattered near the hills.

To the south, the wide Kahiltna River cuts across the corner of the map, while the eastern half transitions into a watery lowland of marsh and lakes. Here, named bodies of water like Safari Lake and Kroto Lake are fed by a complex drainage system including Kroto Creek and Twenty Mile Creek. A remote Tractor Trail provides one of the few overland connections through the center of the terrain, bridging the gap between the mining districts and the eastern wetlands.
