2023 Map of Talkeetna D-3 SW

About this map

The Alaska Range dominates this terrain within the Denali National Park region of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. This landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes and intricate hydrography, typical of the high-latitude interior. The map focuses on the natural world, illustrating a complex network of unnamed alpine streams and drainage patterns that flow from the mountain slopes. The southeastern portion of the sheet is officially part of the Denali National Park boundary, preserving a segment of the wilderness north of the Talkeetna Mountains. Mapping and surveying data from the U.S. Geological Survey detail the topographic contours of this uninhabited mountain environment, providing a technical record of the land as it stood in the early twenty-first century.
