2016 Map of Talkeetna Mountains C-1 NW

About this map

Susitna River meanders through the heart of this landscape, forming a complex network of braided channels and riverine islands. This 2016 survey documents the dynamic waterway as it converges with the Oshetna River in the south-central portion of the quadrangle. The terrain is defined by the significant elevation of Banazdleni to the north, which overlooks the broad valley floor. Smaller tributaries like Goose Creek feed into the primary river system, illustrating the drainage patterns of the Matanuska-Susitna region. The map captures the wilderness character of the area, where the vast scale of the river system dominates the topography, providing a clear view of the natural hydrology before any modern development or infrastructure modified these primary Alaskan watercourses.
