Trails
used by Natives in the Matanuska
Susitna Valley
at the turn of the century:
*A trail
from
Sunrise City up Six-mile River
and south through the
canyon.
* A winter trail
from Old Knik up
the Knik River then NE to the
Copper River.
* A summer trail
from Old Knik up
the Matanuska River, passing
Palmer's store and King's
house to Millich Creek
and, via Hicks Creek,
Trail Lake and Nulchuk Tyon
Village, to the Copper River
(pretty much the route of the present
Glenn Highway.
* A summer trail
from Grubstake Gulch
on Willow Creek over
Hatcher Pass and down to Palmer's
Upper House with a branch
leading to Vacilla's and to Mellish
House.
After
1912,
other much used trails had developed
northward from
Seward and out from
Knik to the
east and west (and various
mines):
* Seward
Trail
(1905) from Eklutna, over Peter's
Creek, through the
mountains, down Crow Creek and
Glacier Creek, passed Kern
Creek, 20 Mile Creek, Portage
Creek and up Placer River.
* Watson Coal
Trail, which was later known
as the Goodwin Trail and which
was the first lap of the Iditarod
trail from Knik to Susitna Station:
* The Klondike
and Boston Co., Summer Trail
along the beach from Knik
to Cottonwood then towards the
mountains, passing between
Lake Lucille and Wasilla Lake to
Grubstake Gulch (now part
of Knik-Wasilla Road) with a branch
marked R.R. Trail, to the Kashwitna
River.
* Carle Road
(now Fishhook Road) developed
a little later from Knik between
Lake Lucille and Wasilla
Lake to the gold fields of Hatcher
Pass.
* Dalton Trail
branched of the Carle Road
as it entered the Little Susitna
Canyon and then ran east to the coal
mines.
* Information
extracted from a book
called: Old Times on Upper
Cook's Inlet by Louise Potter

It is an ongoing

Little bit about
myself:
I have lived
in Alaska for 68 years. I enjoy
helping people trace their
family roots,
especially their Alaskan roots.
If you need help with your family tree,
drop me a line. I would be more
than happy to try and help, no charge.
