2016 Map of Talkeetna Mountains B-6 NW

About this map

Chase serves as the primary named focal point in this 2016 survey, situated among a complex network of waterways in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. The landscape is defined by the convergence of major glacial runoff channels, most notably the Talkeetna River and Sheep River along the southern margin. A series of smaller, distinct water bodies including Mama Bear Lake, Katie Lake, and Sockeye Lake are scattered across the terrain, suggesting a classic post-glacial topography with numerous kettle lakes and wetland depressions. Chunilna Creek and its tributary, Dog Hair Cr, dominate the western half of the quadrangle, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns that characterize this Alaskan interior. The mapping provides precise elevation data for the foothills and low-lying basins that separate these significant river systems, useful for understanding the hydrologic connectivity of the region.
