2013 Map of Talkeetna B-1 SW

About this map

Petersville Rd and Oil Well Rd traverse this wetland-rich landscape in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, revealing a pattern of remote accessibility and resource exploration. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Moose Cr, Sawmill Cr, and the smaller Ninemile Cr, which feed into numerous named bodies of water such as Scotty Lake and Long Lake. The presence of the Rangeview Airstrip alongside Petersville Rd highlights the importance of bush aviation in this part of Alaska, where terrestrial roads like Trail Ridge Rd and Watkins Rd provide the only other links to the more traveled Parks Hwy corridor. This 2013 survey illustrates the careful balance of infrastructure within a landscape dominated by drainage basins like Gate Cr and W Fork Moose Cr, where the vast majority of the land remains undeveloped and centered on these natural water features.
