2016 Map of Denali B-1 SE

About this map

The high peaks and glacial drainage systems of the Alaska Range define this 2016 survey of the interior wilderness. Denali National Park encompasses the entire landscape, where the continental divide is marked by significant features like Anderson Pass and the towering height of Scott Peak. The terrain is characterized by a stark hydrological split: the Thorofare River flows through the northwestern portion of the quadrangle, while the W Fork Chulitna River drains the southeastern slopes. This map provides a precise view of the complex topography between Sunset Peak and the surrounding ridgelines, illustrating the natural corridors and barriers that have challenged explorers and surveyors in the Alaskan interior for over a century. The absence of human-made infrastructure emphasizes the preservation of this region as a primitive natural environment within the park boundaries.
