1954 Map of Talkeetna B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Chelatna Lake and the northern reaches of the Kahiltna River dominate this mid-century landscape in the Matanuska-Susitna region. Remote outposts like Chelatna Lodge and the small settlement at Collinsville appear alongside a network of Tractor Trails that provided essential overland access during the 1950s. The map illustrates the southern boundary of the Denali National Monument, where the Kahiltna Glacier feeds into a braided river system. Local nomenclature reflects the mining and trapping history of the area, with numerous water bodies like Cache Creek, Treasure Creek, and the humorously named Wetbutt Creek. Landmarks such as Hansen Bar and Sunset suggest a landscape defined by seasonal industry and isolation in the Alaskan interior before modern infrastructure arrived.
