2017 Map of Talkeetna C-5 SE

About this map

The Alaska Range dominates this 2017 survey of the Matanuska-Susitna region, where the high-altitude terrain is preserved within the Denali National Preserve. This landscape is defined by its extreme elevation and dramatic relief, as indicated by the dense contour intervals throughout the quadrangle. Cascade Cr flows through the southern portion of the sheet, cutting through the steep slopes in a rare break from the surrounding mountain peaks. The map illustrates the wilderness character of the interior, showing a region where natural boundaries and township lines like t29n r15w and t28n r16w govern the land rather than roads or permanent settlements.
