Talkeetna Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape in the southern interior of Alaska. This 2016 survey provides a precise look at the glacial and topographical characteristics of a region defined by its ice and elevation. The map prominently features the massive Talkeetna Glacier in the northeast and the Chickaloon Glacier further south, illustrating the significant presence of permanent ice fields. The lack of roads, structures, or named settlements highlights the extreme environment of this portion of the Talkeetna Mountains. For researchers of environmental change and glaciology, the detailed contour intervals provide a baseline for observing the reach of these ice bodies as they stood in the mid-2010s.
