1952 Map of Talkeetna Mountains B-6

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The Talkeetna River dominates this 1952 topographic study, winding through the expansive drainage basins of the Talkeetna Mountains. This map, based on aerial photography from August 1949, documents a landscape largely defined by its hydrological network, including Chunilna Creek and Disappointment Creek. Small Cabin sites are the only indicators of human presence in this part of the Alaska interior, suggesting the temporary seasonal dwellings of trappers or early prospectors. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Birch Creek valley to high elevations like Bald Mountain and the peak marked Roger. This edition is particularly interesting for its note on missing data in the west, where cloud cover during the 1949 aerial survey obscured certain areas from the multiplex mapping process.
