1951 Map of Talkeetna Mountains D-1

About this map

The Susitna River and Maclaren River dominate this interior Alaskan landscape, which serves as a major geographical meeting point between three principal survey meridians. This 1951 edition highlights the convergence of the South Boundary Fairbanks Meridian, the Seward Meridian, and the East Boundary Seward Meridian, illustrating how early federal land management divided this expansive terrain. Evidence of early exploration and seasonal occupation is found in isolated landmarks like a lone Cabin near Coal Lake. Significant elevation points such as Vabm 3299 Coal and Vabm 3716 Richardson provide fixed survey markers amidst a complex network of waterways including Coal Creek and Clearwater Creek.
