2016 Map of Talkeetna Mountains C-2 SW

About this map

Gilbert Cr winds through the high-elevation terrain of this Alaskan quadrangle, defining the drainage patterns across the central and western sections of the township boundaries of t29n r8e and t28n r8e. The landscape is dominated by the steep, surveyed slopes of the Talkeetna Mountains, where elevation changes are sharply marked by 40-foot contour intervals. In the eastern portion of the map, Goose Cr originates among the high ridges of t29n r9e, illustrating the complex water-carved geography of the Matanuska-Susitna region. This 2016 survey provides a precise look at the uninhabited wilderness during the early 21st century, showing no developed roads or structures, only the natural intersections of mountain topography and glacial-fed streams.
