2013 Map of Talkeetna Mountains B-1 SW

About this map

The Little Oshetna River flows through this corner of the Talkeetna Mountains, marking a landscape defined by an intricate network of alpine drainage systems. In the early 21st century, this area remains characterized by its high-elevation watercourses, where Sanona Cr and Walker Cr carve through the terrain. The mapping reveals a distinct hydrographic pattern where smaller tributaries like Joe Cr, Red Cr, and Yacko Cr converge, illustrating the complex watershed of the Matanuska-Susitna region. Further east, the descent of Sellick Cr and the descriptively named Fourth-of-July Cr suggest a landscape shaped by seasonal melt and persistent glacial influence. This survey captures the remote character of the Alaskan interior, showing the fundamental relationship between elevation and the path of these mountain streams before they reach the larger river valleys.
