2023 Map of Talkeetna C-2 SE

About this map

Petersville sits at the base of the Peters Hills, marking a pocket of settlement in the Matanuska-Susitna region where the landscape transitions from high ridgelines to expansive drainage basins. The northern reach of the map is defined by the broad path of the Tokositna River, which receives various tributaries including Ramsdyke Creek and Long Creek. The southeastern quadrant reveals a complex system of wetlands and small water bodies, anchored by Bunco Lake and the winding Bunco Creek. This 2023 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the relationship between the elevated terrain of the hills and the lowland water systems like Home Lake and First Creek that drain toward the glacial river valleys.
