2013 Map of Talkeetna Mountains A-1 SE

About this map

Little Nelchina River flows across the northern reaches of this interior Alaskan landscape, which is defined by its complex drainage network and numerous small glacial ponds. The hydrologic patterns are remarkably intricate here, with Crooked Cr and Tululio Cr winding through the western portion of the quadrangle while Old Man Cr and Cottonwood Cr carve through the southern terrain. This 2013 survey illustrates the remote character of the Talkeetna Mountains region, where no major roads or settlements are recorded, leaving the land's natural contours and watercourses as the primary landmarks. The presence of numerous unnamed lakes and marshes between the established creeks suggests a saturated, low-lying environment typical of this high-latitude tundra and forest mosaic.
