2017 Map of Talkeetna C-6 NE

About this map

Denali National Preserve encompasses the southern portion of this landscape, where the high mountain terrain begins to drop toward the river valleys. The topography is defined by the convergence of several major drainages, most notably the W Fork Yentna River and the Tonzona River, which flow through the steep glacial valleys of the Alaska Range. A significant geographic transition occurs at Mystic Pass, a natural high-altitude corridor between the peaks. The map also traces the headwaters of Red Paint Creek and Pingston Creek, illustrating the complex hydrological network that feeds the region's larger river systems. This 2017 survey provides a precise look at the boundary where the Denali Borough and Matanuska-Susitna Borough meet amidst this uninhabited wilderness.
