2017 Map of Talkeetna C-4 SW

About this map

Denali National Preserve encompasses a significant portion of this terrain in the Matanuska-Susitna region, where the high slopes of the Alaska Range overlook a complex network of glacial meltwater. The drainage of the E Fork Yentna River, also labeled as the East Fork Yentna River, dominates the central landscape. The river creates a broad, braided channel system that cuts through the topography, reflecting the dynamic hydrological environment of the Alaskan interior. In the southeastern corner, the smaller Idaho Cr winds through the lower elevations. The map is defined by its lack of human infrastructure, focusing instead on the natural transition from high alpine ridges to the river basins below, providing a clear view of the wilderness before more recent geological or environmental shifts.
