2016 Map of Denali A-1 SE

About this map

Denali National Park encompasses the vast majority of this 2016 survey, revealing a high-altitude wilderness defined by extreme relief and glacial activity. The topography is dominated by steep mountain ridges and deep valleys, where elevation contours pack tightly together to illustrate the dramatic ascent into the Alaska Range. Drainage is sparse across this protected landscape, with Partin Creek appearing in the northeast corner as one of the few named watercourses. Produced by the U.S. Geological Survey using imagery from 2009 to 2015, the map documents the preserve's interior far from established roads or human settlements. The presence of the Public Land Survey System grid lines, including t21s r14w and t22s r13w, provides a spatial reference for researchers and wilderness navigators studying this remote subarctic environment.
