2016 Map of Healy A-5 NW

About this map

Colorado sits as a vital point of interest along the transportation corridor of the Susitna Valley, where the Colorado Station Road meets the primary artery of the Parks Highway. This 2016 survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns of the Alaska Range foothills, defined by the confluence of the Middle Fork Chulitna River and the E Fork Chulitna River. The map highlights the transition from the protected wilderness of Denali National Park in the northwest to the low-lying wetlands and glaciated terrain of Broad Pass. Numerous tributaries, including the Bull River, Fourth of July Cr, and Hardage Cr, carve through the landscape, reflecting the heavy glacial influence on the local hydrology and the challenges of maintaining transit routes in the Alaskan interior.
