About this map

Cantwell serves as the primary focal point of this 2016 survey, situated where the high-altitude interior terrain transitions between the Denali Borough and Matanuska-Susitna Borough. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of alpine drainage systems, most notably the north-flowing Nenana River and the meandering E Fork Jack River. These waterways, along with numerous mountain streams like Seattle Cr and Lily Cr, reveal the intricate topographical patterns of the Alaska Range foothills.

The Denali Highway cuts across the northeastern portion of the map, providing a vital transportation corridor through this remote interior region. This modern survey illustrates the persistent importance of natural landmarks and drainage basins in defining administrative boundaries and settlement patterns in central Alaska, where the vast drainage of Edmonds Cr and its tributaries dictate the habitable and traversable corridors of the land.
