2016 Map of Talkeetna Mountains C-4 SW

About this map

Talkeetna River flows across this northern wilderness, winding through the expansive high-elevation terrain of the Talkeetna Mountains. This 2016 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey reveals a landscape defined by dramatic relief and glacial hydrology, where the river's braided channels and wide gravel bars cut through the mountain valleys. The map document spans portions of several townships, including t29n r3e and t28n r3e, showing a region largely devoid of permanent human infrastructure or developed roads. Instead, the focus remains on the intricate contour lines and natural drainage patterns that characterize this portion of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. Researchers interested in Alaskan hydrography or remote topography will find the precise mapping of the river's path and the surrounding peaks essential for understanding the area's physical geography in the early twenty-first century.
