2023 Map of Talkeetna Mountains D-6 SW

About this map

K'esugi Ridge dominates the eastern half of this landscape, its expansive high ground defined by the winding K'esugi Ridge Trl. This upland terrain stands in stark contrast to the low-lying braided channels of the Chulitna River to the west, where the Parks Highway provides the primary corridor for movement through the valley. The map reveals a wild, sparsely developed territory where natural drainages like Byers Creek and Horseshoe Creek carve through the foothills of the Alaska Range. Surveyed with modern precision, the document captures the essential relationship between the primary transport route and the formidable ridge system that borders the river basin.
