2023 Map of Talkeetna Mountains B-6 NE

About this map

Talkeetna River dominates this portion of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, winding through a landscape shaped by glacial drainages and shifting elevations. The settlement of Chase is situated in the northwest corner of the map, marking a point of human activity within an otherwise primarily undeveloped interior region. The topography is defined by the convergence of major waterways, including the southern flow of Disappointment Creek into the main river channel. In the southwestern section, the Sheep River cuts across the terrain, illustrating the complex hydrologic network of the Susitna Valley. This 2023 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a clear record of these watercourses and township boundaries before any further modern encroachment or environmental change, serving as a baseline for tracing land ownership and geographic shifts in this part of Alaska.
