2015 Map of Denali A-4 SE

About this map

Denali National Park encompasses this high-altitude landscape where the Alaska Range dominates the topography. The area is defined by massive glacial systems, most notably the Herron Glacier and a portion of the Foraker Glacier, which feed the drainages of the Herron River and White Cr. The map captures a wilderness devoid of roads or permanent structures, illustrating the raw geological forces of the interior. Dramatic elevation changes are evident in the steep contours surrounding Somber Creek, reflecting the uncompromising environment protected within the park boundaries. For those studying the glacial retreat or the hydrology of the northern range, this survey provides a precise look at the terminus points and drainage patterns of these ice fields as they existed in the early 21st century.
