About this map

The braided channels of the Susitna River dominate this 1990s landscape, weaving through the Delta Islands and defining the lowland geography of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. Along the eastern corridor, the George Parks Highway serves as the primary artery connecting the settlements of Willow, Kashwitna, and Caswell. This era shows a community structured around both road and air travel, evidenced by the Willow Airport and several remote Landing Strips tucked near the riverbanks.

Further west, the terrain becomes a complex network of wetlands and smaller waterways like the Deshka River and Trapper Creek. Local recreation and infrastructure are well-documented, featuring the Willow Creek Campground, a Racetrack, and several Gravel Pits used for local development. For those tracing the evolution of interior travel, the map preserves the routes of the Winter Trail and various Tractor Trails that cross the marshy ground beyond the maintained highway system.
