2017 Map of Talkeetna D-6 SE

About this map

The Alaska Range dominates the southern half of this interior Alaska landscape, where high-altitude contours give way to the glacial drainage systems of the north. This 2017 survey documents the complex hydrology of the region, anchored by the Tonzona River flowing through the northeast. The river's braided path and adjacent wetlands are fed by mountain runoff, most notably from Red Paint Cr, which descends from the peaks through the central township. In the lower-lying northern terrain, the Amos Lakes cluster provides a distinct contrast to the steep topography of the range. The map clearly delineates the Public Land Survey System grid, including townships t32n r18w and t31n r18w, illustrating how the federal government partitioned this remote wilderness into systematic blocks even where no physical roads or settlements exist.
