2023 Map of Talkeetna Mountains A-2 SW

About this map

Oshetna River headwaters dominate the northwest corner of this remote Alaskan interior landscape, where glacial runoff feeds a complex network of named tributaries. The high-altitude terrain is defined by the convergence of Caribou Creek and its many feeders, including Mazuma Creek and Whistler Creek. These drainages represent the raw topography of the Matanuska-Susitna region as documented by the U.S. Geological Survey in the early 21st century. The map provides a precise look at the drainage patterns of Cardioceras Creek and Cadoceras Creek, which flow through the eastern reaches of the quadrangle. With no established roads or settlements recorded, the map serves as a primary reference for the natural hydrology and land divisions of the Talkeetna Mountains.
