2023 Map of Talkeetna Mountains A-3 SW

About this map

Talkeetna Glacier and Chickaloon Glacier dominate the high-elevation landscape of this Matanuska-Susitna region, where glacial ice and meltwater dictate the drainage patterns of the upper Chickaloon River valley. The map documents a strictly wilderness terrain, devoid of permanent settlements or named structures, focusing instead on the complex hydrography and elevation gradients of the Talkeetna Mountains. In the southern portion of the sheet, the headwaters of Moss Creek begin their descent through the steep valleys. This survey provides a precise look at glacial extents as of the early 21st century, offering critical data for those studying the movement of ice fields and the natural evolution of Alaskan water systems in the t24n r5e through t22n r7e townships.
