1965 Map of Talkeetna
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The massive ice fields of Kahiltna Glacier and Ruth Glacier dominate the northern terrain of this 1965 survey, descending from the high peaks of the Alaska Range. The map documents a critical corridor of interior Alaska where the Alaska Railroad follows the Susitna River past the settlement of Talkeetna. To the west, the landscape is defined by the braided channels of the Yentna River and its numerous tributaries, including the Kichatna River. Small outposts and landmarks like Petersville, Collinsville, and the Sexton House are noted alongside the Winter Trail, reflecting the area's history of mining and remote homesteading. The map also captures the southeastern edge of Mount McKinley National Park, featuring prominent summits such as Mt Foraker, Mt Hunter, and the distinctive granite spires of The Mooses Tooth.
