1952 Map of Talkeetna Mountains C-1

About this map

The Susitna River meanders through this portion of the Talkeetna Mountains, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways and glacial terrain. At this point in the early 1950s, the area remains largely undeveloped, with a single Cabin located near the confluence of the Oshetna River and the Black River in the southwest. The geography is characterized by extensive wetlands and thousands of small unnamed ponds that feed into tributaries like Tyone Creek and Sanona Creek. Survey markers like VABM 4503 Oshetna and Lone Butte VABM 3888 provide essential elevation data for this remote drainage basin, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Tyone River system before more modern infrastructure or settlement reached this interior region.
