2023 Map of Tyonek B-1 NW

About this map

The Susitna settlement area and the surrounding wetlands of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough are documented in this 2023 survey. This landscape is defined by the braided drainage patterns of the Little Susitna River and Fish Creek, which carve through a dense network of marshes and low-lying coastal plains near Point MacKenzie. The map provides a high-resolution view of the modern hydrological state of the region, where the Maguire Creek drainage feeds into a complex system of lakes and ponds. While the terrain is largely defined by its natural water features, the inclusion of the Public Land Survey System boundaries, including t16n r6w and t15n r5w, helps genealogists and land researchers pinpoint specific historical homesteading and allotment locations within these townships. The vast wetland designations from the National Wetlands Inventory reveal the delicate balance of the Susitna river basin's contemporary geography.
