2015 Map of Denali C-1 SE

About this map

Denali National Park and the towering peaks of the Alaska Range dominate this interior landscape in the early twenty-first century. The map centers on the high-altitude terrain surrounding Mt Sheldon, where the Toklat River and its tributaries, including Sheldon Cr and Cabin Cr, carve through the glacial geography. The only significant corridor of human access is the Denali National Park Road, which snakes through the southeast corner of the quadrangle near the Toklat landmark. This road provides the essential link between the park's entrance and its deeper wilderness, passing near Divide Mtn. The topography here is characterized by steep elevation changes and natural drainages like Bear Draw and Stony Cr, illustrating the protected wilderness of the Alaska interior before the onset of modern climate shifts began to significantly alter the northern permafrost and glacial runoff patterns.
