1958 Map of Talkeetna D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Ruth Glacier and the massive Tokositna Glacier dominate this mid-century survey of the Alaska Range within the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. The landscape is defined by its vertical extremes, featuring prominent peaks such as Mount Huntington, The Mooses Tooth, and Mount Dickey. A collaborative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Museum of Science in Boston, the map provides a high-resolution view of the area's complex glacial system, including the expansive Ruth Amphitheater and the dramatic narrow passage known as The Great Gorge. While the higher elevations are locked in ice, the lower reaches in the southeast show the headwaters of Whistler Creek and Alder Creek, illustrating the transition from alpine ice fields to the developing drainage patterns of the Alaskan interior during the 1950s.
