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.
*

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.
