1993 Map of Tyonek C-1

About this map

The Susitna River and the braided channels of the Kroto Slough dominate this Alaskan landscape, where the shifting waters create the complex Delta Islands and a network of wetlands. In the northeast, the Parks Highway provides a critical corridor of development near Willow Lake and the Willow Airport, connecting this wilderness to the broader state infrastructure. The map records a transition from the structured State Recreation Area at Nancy Lake to the vast tracts of interior wilderness characterized by unnamed Cabins and traditional transit routes. Historians will find particular interest in the Iditarod Trail (Approximate) winding through the southern reaches, marking the legacy of dog sled freighting across the Susitna Valley. The area is dotted with family-named water bodies like Shem Pete Lake and Kellys Lake, reflecting the early 20th-century homesteading and trapping history that preceded the area's modern recreational use.
