1954 Map of Talkeetna A-2

About this map

The Kahiltna River snakes through this 1950s interior landscape, defining a complex network of wetlands and tributaries before the modern development of the Susitna Valley. The map captures a largely untouched wilderness where human presence is limited to isolated structures, such as the Cabins on the western shore of Shulin Lake. This area is characterized by a high density of water bodies, including Schnieder Lake and Amber Lake, set amidst the drainage basins of Peters Creek and Kroto Creek. The presence of numerous unnamed lakes and the serpentine path of Treasure Creek in the northwest reflect a terrain dictated by glacial history and seasonal water flow. This survey provides a baseline of the regional hydrology and early settlements in the Matanuska-Susitna area during the mid-century period.
