2015 Map of Denali B-1 NW

About this map

Mt Eielson and Mt Galen anchor the high-altitude interior of Denali National Park, where glacial runoff feeds a complex network of braided rivers. The McKinley River and Thorofare River dominate the lowlands, collecting drainage from numerous named tributaries like Glacier Cr, Camp Creek, and Sunrise Creek. This 2015 survey illustrates the infrastructure supporting access to these subarctic landscapes, centered on the Denali National Park Road. Historically significant routes and pathways, including the Alpine Trail and Tundra Trail, trace the contours near Thorofare Pass, providing a window into the established movement patterns through this protected corridor. The map further identifies geological points of interest such as The Notch and the confluence of Gorge Creek within the rugged drainage basins.
