2023 Map of Talkeetna Mountains C-6 NW

About this map

The Susitna Valley landscape dominates this modern 2023 survey, centered on the powerful braided channel of the Susitna River. This specific reach of the river reflects the vast, undeveloped character of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, where the waterway serves as the primary corridor through the valley floor. To the west, the elevation rises sharply toward Curry Ridge, providing a topographical boundary that funnels glacial runoff into the basin. The drainage of Troublesome Creek cuts through the northwestern portion of the map, illustrating the complex hydrology of the region's tributary systems. This 2023 edition provides an precise look at the contemporary contours and glacial silt-fed riverbeds of the Alaskan interior before any significant modern settlement or road infrastructure has altered the natural river plain.
