2023 Map of Denali A-2 SW

About this map

Denali National Park and the protected Denali Wilderness dominate this high-elevation terrain in the central Alaska Range. The map details the formidable verticality of the massif, anchored by the massive East Buttress and South Buttress. Surveyed in the early 2020s, this data captures the complex glaciated geography where prominent ridges like Karstens Ridge and Pioneer Ridge descend from the heights of Denali. To the southeast, the peak of Mt Dan Beard stands above the ice, while critical mountaineering landmarks such as Parker Pass, Browne Tower, and Traleika Col define the navigable breaks in the wall of rock. This sheet covers the boundary between Denali Borough and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, illustrating the topographic divide that separates these two regions.
