2017 Map of Talkeetna D-5 SW

About this map

Tonzona River dominates the glacial drainage pattern of this interior landscape within the Denali Borough. Flowing through wide valleys defined by the t32n r17w and t31n r17w township boundaries, the river is fed by significant tributaries including Cathedral Cr and Ripsnorter Creek. The mapping reveals a complex topographic environment where steep mountain ridges meet broad alluvial plains. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the untouched hydrological network of the region, providing a baseline for geomorphological study in an area where the water bodies themselves are the primary landmarks. The absence of roads or permanent structures underscores the remote nature of this Alaskan wilderness.
