1951 Map of Talkeetna Mountains D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Susitna River carves a deep valley through this interior landscape, documented by photogrammetric methods from 1949 aerial surveys. This map captures a moment when the region remained largely unsurveyed by the Bureau of Land Management, with land lines representing predetermined but unmarked locations. A lone Cabin situated near the mouth of Kosina Creek serves as the only evidence of human habitation in a territory defined by its complex drainage systems. Several prominent survey markers, including VABM 5604 Watana and VABM 4724 Brown, anchor the high ground between the river and the South Boundary Fairbanks Meridian. The intricate network of tributaries such as Watana Creek, Coal Creek, and Jay Creek illustrates the primitive state of the interior before modern development or infrastructure reached these remote elevations.
