1987 Map of Talkeetna A-1 NE

About this map

The Susitna River dominates this landscape, its braided channels and gravel bars carving a complex path through the lowlands south of the Talkeetna Mountains. In the 1980s, the small settlement of Sunshine served as a key point of reference along The Alaska Railroad, which runs parallel to the river's eastern bank. This corridor highlights the critical infrastructure connecting the interior with the coast, showing how the rail line navigates the wetlands and numerous small water bodies like Section House Lake and Heritage Lake.
