2016 Map of Talkeetna D-1 NE

About this map

Denali National Park encompasses a significant portion of this interior Alaskan landscape, where glacial activity and mountain drainages define the geography. The massive Eldridge Glacier occupies the northeastern corner, its frozen expanse giving way to a network of silt-laden alpine streams. The Hidden River meanders across the lower half of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries such as Swift Cr and Skihi Cr. This 2016 survey illustrates the complex relationship between the high-altitude ice fields and the valley floors, providing a record of hydrological patterns and protected lands within the Alaska-Matanuska-Susitna Borough. The map is characterized by its lack of human infrastructure, focusing instead on the natural topography and established park boundaries that preserve this wilderness area.
