2024 Map of Talkeetna B-6 SW

About this map

Kichatna Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Alaska Range, where the eastern portion of the map is protected as part of the Denali National Preserve. The terrain is defined by severe elevation changes and narrow drainage corridors, most notably where the Earl River and Kichatna River flow through the deep valleys. A critical transit point across these peaks is found at Simpson Pass, which provides a natural notch between the steep ridges. The drainage patterns of Morris Creek and Threemile Creek further reveal the complex hydrology of this subarctic wilderness. This 2024 data showcases a landscape largely untouched by infrastructure, where the natural contours and water systems remain the primary features of interest for those studying the most isolated corners of the Alaska interior.
