1951 Map of Talkeetna B-1

About this map

Talkeetna serves as the central hub of this 1951 survey, situated at the significant confluence where the Chulitna River and Talkeetna River join the braided channels of the Susitna River. The settlement pattern is defined by the corridor of The Alaska Railroad, which parallels the Susitna north through Chase. This era shows the local infrastructure in transition, notably marking both an Airstrip and an Airstrip (Old) near the townsite, reflecting the region's total reliance on rail and aviation for transport.
