About this map

The Susitna River and Yentna River dominate this 2016 survey of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, revealing a complex network of waterways and seasonal sloughs. The landscape is defined by its Dena'ina heritage, with traditional place names identifying key locations throughout the drainage. Significant sites such as Qalnigi Tel'iht and Yusdishlaq' reflect the enduring cultural footprint on the land, while the braided channels of Kroto Slough and the waters of Leech Lake illustrate the dynamic hydrology of the region. This modern topographic record preserves the native nomenclature of the Alaska interior, documenting landmarks like Beq'e Tach'itqeyi and the course of Fish Creek. The map provides a precise look at the township and range boundaries across T16N through T18N, anchoring these traditional spaces within the modern survey system.
