1958 Map of Talkeetna D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Tonzona River headwaters and the braided channels of the Swift Fork define this interior Alaskan landscape during the late 1950s. The map illustrates a critical point of geographic transition where the southern boundary of the Fairbanks Meridian meets the northern boundary of the Seward Meridian. Evidence of aviation history in the bush is preserved through a Landing Strip and a Landing Strip(Aban'd) situated along Boulder Creek. High-altitude terrain is marked by features like Brown Bear Basin and Heart Mtn, while resource extraction is noted by a single Mine located in the southeastern quadrant. This survey reflects the region's character just as the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act would later formalize the surrounding Denali National Park and Denali National Preserve.
