1952 Map of Talkeetna A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The Alaska Railroad serves as the primary artery through this Alaskan corridor, running parallel to the massive braided channels of the Susitna River. Recorded in the post-war years, the map reveals a landscape defined by the intersection of water and rail, with small settlements like Sunshine and Montana situated as pivotal stops along the line. To the east, the terrain is etched with numerous waterways, including the curiously named Question Creek and Question Lake, as well as Montana Creek and Goose Creek. A notable amount of the western portion of this quadrangle remains unmapped due to a lack of aerial photo coverage, highlighting the mid-century challenges of documenting this remote territory. Local industrial activity is evidenced by a Gravel Pit near the rail line, while nearby Tollison Lake and Fish Lake suggest a landscape dotted with subarctic water bodies.
