1958 Map of Talkeetna D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The glacial landscapes of the Alaska Range dominate this area, where Buckskin Glacier and Eldridge Glacier carve through the high terrain. The map documents a critical transition in land management and access in the mid-20th century, showing the boundaries of Denali National Park and Denali State Park. A significant interpretive detail is the presence of the George Parks Highway in the southeast corner, following the path of the Chulitna River and Byers Creek. This corridor represents the primary overland connection through the wilderness, while the rest of the quadrangle remains defined by braided waterways like the Coffee River, Hidden River, and Fountain River. The survey also marks the intersection of the Fairbanks and Seward Meridians, a fundamental point for Alaskan land measurement and surveying history.
