2023 Map of Talkeetna Mountains C-1 SE

About this map

Tyone Creek dominates this interior Alaskan landscape within the Talkeetna Mountains, winding through a complex system of wetlands and small glacial ponds. This 2023 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details the drainages in the Matanuska-Susitna region, where Sanona Creek feeds into the larger hydrologic network. The map reveals the characteristic tundra terrain of the Copper River Basin's northwestern edges, defined by high-elevation bogs and narrow stream corridors. Devoid of established roads or permanent settlements, the area remains a wilderness dominated by public lands and traditional waterways. The intricate contour lines provided by the National Elevation Dataset highlight the subtle shifts in elevation across this remote subarctic environment, offering a technical view of the region's topography and drainage patterns.
