2016 Map of Talkeetna A-3 SW

About this map

Skwentna and the nearby settlement of Sdak'dal'iy sit at the center of this remote landscape where the braided channels of the Yentna River meet a complex network of residential streets. This 2016 survey highlights a unique layout of roads with nautical and arboreal names, such as Dungeness Way, Irish Lord Drive, and Alderwood Drive, which suggest a planned community or recreational development set against the wilderness. To the north and east, the terrain rises into the Yenlo Hills, while the lowlands are dominated by the shifting hydrology of Donkey Cr and the Donkey Creek Slough. The map documents the persistent human presence in this riverine environment, where aviation and water travel often supersede traditional highway access, as evidenced by the dense cluster of named lanes like Hellwig Avenue and Pinewood Avenue isolated from the broader state road network.
