F-22 Plus-Up Environmental Assessment 3.0 Affected Environment Segments of the Iditarod National Historic Trail underlie the Galena and Susitna MOAs (Air Force 1995). The Iditarod Trail is a network of more than 2,300 trails that takes its name from an Athabascan Indian village. A portion of Denali State Park, about 550,000 acres of Denali National Park, and about 400,000 acres of Denali National Preserve also underlie the northern portion of the Susitna MOA. Denali National Park, managed by the National Park Service, was established in 1917 as Mount McKinley National Park. In 1980, the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act expanded the boundary by four million acres and renamed it Denali National Park and Preserve. Denali is currently six million acres in size. There are three distinct units that make up Denali National Park and Preserve: Denali Wilderness, Denali National Preserve, and Denali National Park. The Susitna MOA does not overlie the Denali Wilderness. 3.8.2.2 Fox and Stony MOAs Lands underlying the Fox MOA include the Tangle Lakes, Tangle River, Delta River, Gulkana River, components of the National Wild and Scenic River System, Tangle Lakes Archaeological District, and Nelchina Public Use Area. Although there are no communities within this area, there are scattered remote residences. The Fox MOA overlies areas frequently used for recreational hunting, including BLM-managed recreation areas. Stony A and B MOAs overlie a number of small communities including Georgetown, Crooked Creek, Red Devil, Sleetmute, and Stony River. 3.8.2.3 Yukon and Viper MOAs The Yukon MOAs overlie remote residences or parcels along the Salcha River, as well as the communities of Circle, Central, Circle Hot Springs, Chena Hot Springs, Eagle, Chicken, Eagle Village, Boundary, and Chalkyitsik. Some of the special use areas within this area include the Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve, Charley National Wild River, and Fortymile National Wild, Scenic, and Recreational River. Notices along these rivers, such as the Birch Creek Wild and Scenic River, explain the SUA and the use of the airspace to recreationists. 3.8.2.3 Restricted Areas With the exception of the Chena River State Recreation Area, no special land use areas occur under Restricted Areas. A small portion of the southern boundary of the Chena River State Recreation Area underlies R-2205 (see Figure 3.8-4). 3.9 Socioeconomics Socioeconomic factors are defined as the basic attributes and resources associated with the human environment. Data for the socioeconomic analysis in this EA were obtained from a variety of sources, including the Air Force, the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Alaska Departments of Commerce and Labor, and the Municipality of Anchorage.
