2023 Map of Talkeetna Mountains A-2 SE

About this map

The Horn Mountains define the southern reaches of this high-elevation landscape in the Talkeetna Mountains. The terrain is structured by a network of drainage systems, including the Little Nelchina River and its various tributaries like Billy Creek and Bubb Creek. Geologically significant features such as the Limestone Hills, Limestone Gap, and Limestone Gulch suggest a distinct carbonate-based topography rare for the broader region. The lack of roads or established settlements emphasizes the remote nature of this portion of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, where the intricate contour lines reveal sharp elevation changes and deep valleys carved by seasonal waterways like Cadoceras Creek and Flume Creek. This detailed elevation data provides a clear record of the glacial and hydrological forces shaping this interior Alaskan wilderness.
