1958 Map of Talkeetna C-6

About this map

Glacial movement and high-altitude topography dominate this late 1950s survey of the Alaska Range. The southern extent is anchored by the northern peaks of the Kichatna Mountains, where the landscape is carved by the Dillinger River and the braided headwaters of the Yentna River. High mountain corridors such as Shellabarger Pass and Mystic Pass provide the only navigable breaks in the steep terrain, serving as vital landmarks for early bush pilots and explorers.
