1957 Map of Talkeetna Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Alaska Railroad corridor defines the western edge of this 1957 survey, providing a vital transport link through the high interior terrain. Following the Chulitna River, the rail line connects small settlements including Hurricane, Chulitna, Canyon, and Gold Creek. The landscape is dominated by the Talkeetna Mountains and a complex drainage system where the Susitna River and Talkeetna River carve through the Third Judicial Division. High-altitude water bodies like Stephan Lake, Fog Lakes, and Watana Lake are scattered across the plateau, while the eastern reaches are marked by the Maclaren River and the Oshetna River. This sheet documents a remote Alaskan wilderness at mid-century, prior to the large-scale developments of the late 20th century, capturing the precise locations of small station stops and isolated mountain peaks like Mt Watana and Tsusena Butte.
