2015 Map of Denali A-3 SW

About this map

Mount Crosson anchors the southern reaches of this interior Alaskan landscape, which sits entirely within the protected boundaries of Denali National Park. The survey illustrates a high-altitude wilderness defined by the massive slow-moving ice of Foraker Glacier and Straightaway Glacier, which carve through the steep relief of the Alaska Range. This 2015 edition provides a modern topographic perspective on these active glacial systems before the continued effects of modern climate shifts further alter their margins. The map focuses on the raw physical geography of the region, emphasizing the intricate contour work required to document the complex drainage patterns and ice-fields that characterize this portion of the borough.
