2023 Map of Talkeetna D-2 SW

About this map

The high-altitude terrain of the Alaska Range dominates this quadrangle, illustrating the dramatic verticality of the northern interior. Much of the western and central portions of the sheet fall within the protected boundaries of Denali National Park, preserving a landscape characterized by steep glacial cirques, sharp ridges, and high peaks. The absence of roads or human settlements reflects the wilderness character of the region. Instead, the map focuses on physical geography and the complex hydrography of alpine streams. Precise township and range lines, such as the boundary between t32n r9w and t32n r8w, provide the only administrative grid over this undeveloped expanse of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough.
