2023 Map of Talkeetna C-2 NE

About this map

Denali National Park encompasses the high-altitude terrain of this 2023 survey, dominated by the prominent peaks of the Tokosha Mountains. The landscape is defined by its dramatic glacial and river systems, with the Ruth River and Bluff Creek carving through the northern and eastern sections of the quadrangle. In the south, the braided channels of the Tokositna River emerge from the high country, fed by smaller tributaries like First Creek. This map illustrates the complex drainage patterns of the southern Alaska Range, where the intersection of steep mountain topography and wide river valleys creates a wilderness area largely devoid of roads or permanent structures. The detailed contour work provided by the U.S. Geological Survey highlights the sheer scale of the elevations within the Talkeetna C-2 NE region.
