About this map

Denali National Park encompasses the interior of this survey, where the drainages of Chitsia Cr and Flume Cr carve through the northern landscape. The elevation is dominated by the Chitsia Mtn peak in the northeast and the southern extent of the Kantishna Hills in the southeast. This map captures the intricate topographical contours of the region before the modern landscape was further altered by shifting glacial and fluvial patterns.

Waterways like Little Bear Cr and Alder Cr indicate the significant watershed activity in this high-altitude environment. The lack of established road infrastructure or named settlements on this sheet highlights the wilderness character of this particular section of the Alaska-Denali Borough, making it a valuable reference for understanding the natural geography and undeveloped terrain of the early 21st century.
