1958 Map of Talkeetna C-2

About this map

Tokositna River and its braided channels form the central artery of this interior landscape, where glacial runoff from the Tokositna Glacier and Kanikula Glacier feeds the valley floor. Evidence of mid-century exploration and resource extraction is scattered throughout the Dutch Hills and Peters Hills, where several Placer Mines are located along drainages like Bird Creek and Lucky Gulch. These operations were supported by a network of Tractor Trails and a remote Landing Strip near Peters Creek. The map also captures the vast icy reaches of the Ruth Glacier in the northeast corner and prominent summits like Mount Goldie. Isolated Cabin labels suggest the presence of seasonal dwellings or mining camps in this terrain, located far from established towns.
