About this map

The Alaska Railroad and the George Parks Highway carve a vital transportation corridor through the eastern edge of this territory, following the drainage of the West Fork Chulitna River. Small rail-side locations like Honolulu and Hurricane mark the human footprint in an otherwise massive expanse of peaks and glacial valleys. To the northwest, the Denali National Park and Preserve encompasses a landscape defined by high-altitude peaks like Joyce and Copeland. Local industrial history is anchored by the Silver King Mine and Golden Zone Mine in the northern reaches, while the drainage network of Ohio and Copeland Creek illustrates the complex hydrology fed by the high glaciers of the Alaska Range.
