About this map

The Alaska Range dominates this high-altitude Alaskan landscape, where ice and elevation define the geography. The presence of the W Fork Glacier on the eastern edge of the sheet illustrates the active glacial processes at work in this part of the interior. This topographic survey captures the rugged transition between administrative districts, marking the boundary where the Denali Borough and Matanuska-Susitna Borough meet. The area is largely defined by severe vertical relief and hydrologic features typical of the subarctic, providing a technical look at the drainage patterns and ice fields that characterize the region north of the Talkeetna Mountains before modern infrastructure reached these higher elevations.
