2017 Map of Talkeetna A-4 SW

About this map

Johnson Creek and Red Cr define the intricate drainage patterns of this Alaskan landscape within the Talkeetna A-4 SW quadrangle. The terrain is characterized by numerous kettle-like depressions and elongated ridges, typical of glacial topography, which shelter smaller water bodies such as Patrick Lake and Tranquility Lake. The absence of roads or permanent settlements in this portion of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough emphasizes the wilderness character of the region. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey, the map provides a detailed look at the township and range boundaries including t23n r14w and t24n r15w, which serve as primary reference points for land navigation and resource management in the vast interior. This map is a critical resource for understanding the undisturbed natural hydrology and landform distribution in the area north of the Susitna River valley.
