2023 Map of Denali A-2 SE

About this map

Mt Silverthrone and Explorers Peak dominate this high-altitude landscape within the interior of Alaska. This survey reflects the modern boundaries of the Denali Wilderness and Denali National Park, areas defined by their extreme vertical relief and glacial terrain. The map serves as a primary record of the boundary between Denali Borough and Matanuska-Susitna Borough, which cuts diagonally across the topographic contours. This remote segment of the Alaska Range is characterized by massive elevation changes, with Brooks Gap providing a named navigational point amidst the surrounding peaks. The absence of roads or man-made structures highlights the protected, primitive state of the wilderness as maintained by the National Park Service and U.S. Geological Survey in the twenty-first century.
