2024 Map of Talkeetna C-6 SE

About this map

The Denali National Preserve defines the central landscape of this wilderness survey, where the extreme topography of the Alaska Range meets the Kichatna Mountains in the south. This environment is shaped by the drainage of the West Fork Yentna River, which cuts a prominent valley through the high-elevation terrain. The map illustrates a remote section of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough where human infrastructure is entirely absent, replaced by complex contouring and glacial drainages. This cartographic study is primarily a record of natural hydrology and landform, documenting the protected boundaries of the preserve and the headwaters of the Yentna River system in its modern, undeveloped state.
