2024 Map of Talkeetna B-5 SE

About this map

The Kichatna Mountains define the high-elevation terrain of this Alaskan quadrangle, where the steep slopes of the Denali National Preserve meet an intricate network of glacial drainages. The landscape is dominated by the westward-flowing Fourth of July Creek, which carves through the central townships, and the Nakoehna River in the southwestern quadrant. This map offers a precise look at the uninhabited wilderness of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, revealing how the drainage patterns of the West Fork Yentna River organize the lower elevations in the northeast. The absence of roads or permanent settlements underscores the isolation of these protected lands, where the natural topography remains the primary guide for navigation and land use study.
