2023 Map of Talkeetna Mountains D-1 NE

About this map

The Susitna River carves a dominant path through this portion of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, defining a complex landscape of glacial drainage and shifting watercourses. Its broad valley floor is joined by several significant tributaries, including the southern reaches of Waterfall Creek and the meandering path of Clearwater Creek as it flows from the east. The terrain is characterized by the convergence of multiple township boundaries, including t33n r12e and t13n r10w, which trace the administrative layout of this interior wilderness. Along the southern edge, Coal Creek adds to the network of waterways that have shaped the geological character of the Talkeetna Mountains region. This survey highlights a remote environment where the natural movement of water remains the primary architect of the land, showing the braided channels and elevation changes that define the Upper Susitna basin.
