1951 Map of Talkeetna Mountains D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

The Susitna River carves through the lower half of this wilderness quadrangle, serving as the primary drainage for a network of glacial and mountain streams. Aerial photography from August 1949 reveals a landscape defined by water and high-elevation terrain, including Thoroughfare Creek and Devil Creek. Evidence of human passage and seasonal habitation is sparse but significant, marked by a Sled Road that traverses the central plateau and several clusters of Cabins or a lone Cabin near the confluence of the river systems. The inclusion of VABM 4741 Portage provides a fixed geodetic reference point amidst the complex topography. This map documents the remote character of the region just before mid-century, where transport was largely dictated by the winter freeze and river corridors like Portage Creek.
