About this map

Mt Susitna dominates the western horizon of this Alaskan landscape, with its South Peak rising sharply above the surrounding wetlands and river systems. The map captures the complex hydrology where the Susitna River and Alexander Creek converge, creating a network of intricate waterways like Casper Slough and the uniquely named K'ti'ila Te'ilht. This area of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough is characterized by isolated settlements and geographic landmarks such as Dinglishna Hill, which stands as a prominent point amidst the low-lying basin.

Small settlements like Susitna and Qaitsusi are positioned near the riverbanks, reflecting a reliance on these water corridors for navigation and subsistence. Tributaries including Pierce Cr and Granite Cr feed into the larger valley, illustrating the drainage patterns from the higher elevations of the Susitna massif toward the coastal lowlands. The survey provides a clear view of the land as it appeared in the mid-2010s, prior to significant landscape changes.
