1951 Map of Talkeetna C-1

About this map

The Alaska Railroad serves as the primary artery for travel and commerce through this section of the interior, following the banks of the Susitna River. This mid-century survey captures the remote outpost of Curry, a significant stop for rail passengers, complete with a dedicated Airstrip for bush plane access. The settlement pattern is defined by isolated rail stops and small clusters such as McKenzie and Lane, which provided essential infrastructure for the railroad's operation. To the east of the tracks, the landscape is punctuated by tributaries like Portage Creek and McKenzie Creek flowing toward the main river channel. Notably, the western portion of this sheet remains blank, designated with a note for no compilation available due to insufficient photo coverage during the 1949 aerial survey.
