1958 Map of Talkeetna D-4

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Mount McKinley National Park dominates the northern reaches of this 1958 field-annotated survey, capturing a frozen landscape of massive ice fields and high peaks. The topography is defined by the slow movement of several named ice bodies, including the expansive Chedotlothna Glacier and Yentna Glacier, which carve through the high-altitude terrain toward the Lacuna Glacier in the southeast. In the lower corner, Mount Russell stands as a prominent landmark amidst the ice. To the northwest, the terrain gives way to the headwaters of the Swift Fork Kuskokwim River, marking the transition from the glaciated highlands to the drainage systems of the interior. This map serves as a precise record of glacial extents and elevations before the park was renamed, offering a baseline for studying the shifting ice and unchanged wilderness of this remote Alaskan region.
