2016 Map of Talkeetna B-1 SE

About this map

The confluence of three major waterways—the Susitna River, Chulitna River, and Talkeetna River—defines the orientation of this 2016 survey. The village of Talkeetna is situated on the eastern bank of the Susitna, featuring a distinctive street grid and the adjacent Talkeetna Village Strip. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by water and transport, where the Talkeetna Airport and the Parks Highway provide modern access to this Alaskan interior. To the east, the Bartlett Hills rise above a series of kettle lakes, including Christiansen Lake, Talkeetna Lakes, and Fish Lake. A network of smaller creeks and sloughs, such as Birch Creek Slough and Whiskey Slough, carve through the glacial outwash plain. The local road system, including Petersville Road and Talkeetna Spur Road, reveals the expansion of the community through named tracks like Pow Wow Trail and Wolf Track Road.
