1958 Map of Talkeetna D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Denali State Park anchors the southeastern landscape of this topographic study, where the braided channels of the Chulitna River meet the outflows of the Fountain River. To the north, the massive ice fields of Buckskin Glacier and Eldridge Glacier dominate the terrain, illustrating the glacial forces that define the hydrology of the Matanuska-Susitna region. The map reveals a complex network of glacial meltwater streams, including Hidden River and Coffee River, which cut through the high-elevation topography. A notable surveyor's benchmark is the South Boundary Fairbanks Meridian, which runs across the upper third of the quadrangle. This 1958 survey, with minor 1971 revisions, documents the wilderness state of the park and surrounding peaks before modern infrastructure development, capturing isolated features like Spink Lake and the confluence of Byers Creek and Crystal Creek.
