2023 Map of Talkeetna Mountains A-3 SE

About this map

Chickaloon River dominates the western portion of this drainage basin, winding through the high-elevation terrain of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, where the headwaters and tributaries of several major systems converge. In the eastern reaches, the Oshetna River and Caribou Creek create a distinct network of valleys, while smaller drainages like Glass Creek and Boulder Creek feed into the primary waterways. This 2023 survey illustrates a wilderness primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System, as evidenced by the township and range lines of t23n r7e and t24n r8e, marking out an area devoid of modern infrastructure or established settlements. The topographic data reveals a land shaped almost entirely by natural flow and elevation, rather than human development.
