2016 Map of Talkeetna Mountains A-5 SE

About this map

The high-elevation terrain of the Talkeetna Mountains dominates this portion of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, where extreme vertical relief is the primary geographic characteristic. The landscape is defined by a dense network of ridges and drainage basins, most notably the headwaters and upper reaches of Sheep Cr in the northwestern quadrant. This 2016 survey illustrates the complex topography of the region just before it transitions toward the lower Susitna Valley. The area is largely defined by its Public Land Survey System designations, spanning multiple townships including t23n r1e and t23n r2e. Unlike maps of more settled regions, this sheet highlights a wilderness area where the natural drainage patterns of Sheep Cr dictate the logic of the land, serving as a primary point of reference for those navigating or studying the northern reaches of the range.
