Matanuska-Susitna Borough

Matanuska-Susitna has served as an agricultural frontier within Alaska since the 1930s. Covering the broad Matanuska and Susitna valleys north of Anchorage, this vast borough links working farmland, road communities and immense backcountry. The Susitna River is its defining waterway, flowing south from the Alaska Range toward Cook Inlet, while the Matanuska River drains a glacial valley to the east. In 1935, the federal Matanuska Colony brought families to establish farms during the New Deal, a legacy still evident in the valley’s agricultural identity. Talkeetna stands at the meeting of the Susitna, Chulitna and Talkeetna rivers. Explore additional webcams nearby to see how Matanuska-Susitna connects with the wider Alaskan interior.
