2017 Map of Tyonek C-8 NE

About this map

Skwentna River winds through the northwestern corner of this high-elevation terrain in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, where steep topographic contours define a landscape dominated by ice and glacial movement. The southeastern portion of the quadrangle is anchored by the massive Hayes Glacier, illustrating the complex glacial drainage patterns that feed the region's river systems. In this unpopulated stretch of the Alaska interior, the map primarily serves as a record of natural transition and hydrological flow. The sheer density of contour lines across the township boundaries of t19n r20w and t18n r19w highlights the significant elevation changes that separate the glacial ice from the river valley below, marking the raw intersection of periglacial processes.
