1952 Map of Anchorage D-8

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Kashwitna River and its northern tributaries dominate the high-elevation landscape in this early 1950s survey of the Talkeetna Mountains region. The map reveals a wild, sparsely settled interior where transportation was dictated by the seasons and the terrain. A prominent Sled Road follows the lower reaches of Willow Creek, suggesting the importance of winter transit for those moving through the river valleys. Evidence of human presence is minimal, limited to isolated structures like the Cabin found near the confluence of Purches Creek. The topography transitions from the low-lying drainage basins of Deception Creek and Rogers Creek in the west to significant peaks in the east, identified by survey points such as VABM 3168 Willow and VABM 2450 Kash.
