2023 Map of Talkeetna Mountains D-2 SW

About this map

The Susitna Valley landscape is dominated by the powerful Susitna River, which cuts an intricate course through this mountainous region. The river's path is joined by major tributaries including Kosina Creek from the south and Jay Creek from the north, illustrating the primary drainage patterns of the southern Talkeetna Mountains. This area is characterized by significant elevation changes, with the river floor serving as the lowest point of a complex basin. The absence of permanent settlements or roads in this 2023 data highlights the persistent isolation of this terrain, where geography is defined by natural watercourses rather than human infrastructure. Land management is noted through established township and range lines, such as t31n r8e and t32n r9e, which provide a grid for this wild expanse within the Matanuska-Susitna borough.
