1952 Map of Talkeetna Mountains C-5

About this map

The Talkeetna River flows through this high-altitude landscape in the Alaska-Third Judicial Division, as documented in 1949 aerial surveys. The topography is dominated by the Talkeetna Mountains, where the drainage patterns of Chunilna Creek and Disappointment Creek reveal a complex network of glacial and mountain runoff. High points such as VABM 4149 Clear serve as primary survey markers across the elevation contours. This era of mapping captured the region before significant infrastructure reached these interior reaches, showing the natural course of Cache Creek and Prairie Creek before modern alterations. The sheet provides a clear view of the wilderness character of the Matanuska-Susitna region during the early 1950s.
