2016 Map of Talkeetna Mountains B-3 SE

About this map

The Talkeetna Mountains define the character of this 2016 survey, where high-elevation terrain dictates the flow of glacial-fed drainages across the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. The drainage basin is anchored by the Black River, which cuts through the eastern sections of the quadrangle while smaller tributaries like Kosina Cr and Aspen Cr carve deep paths through the high country. The map provides an exacting look at the land's natural geometry, illustrating the intricate network of ridgelines and valleys that remain largely untouched by road infrastructure or permanent settlements. By examining the township and range boundaries, such as t26n r7e and t25n r8e, researchers can orient themselves within the legal divisions of the Alaskan wilderness during the early twenty-first century.
