About this map

The Susitna River dominates this landscape in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, its expansive braided channel cutting through a low-lying basin. The settlement of Susitna sits on the eastern bank, positioned at a historically significant location for river navigation and regional access. East of the river, the terrain is characterized by a dense network of wetlands and lakes, including the large Red Shirt Lake and smaller bodies like Cow Lake and Hock Lake. The intricate hydrography of Fish Cr and numerous unnamed ponds highlights a complex aqueous environment that has long dictated movement and settlement patterns in this part of Alaska. This survey provides a clear look at the township and range lines across the Susitna Valley as they stood in the mid-2010s.
