About this map

The Denali National Park and Wilderness Boundary bisects this landscape, separating the protected parklands from the corridor of development following the Nenana River. Near the northern boundary, the Denali National Park Headquarters serves as a focal point for the region, situated adjacent to the McKinley Park settlement and the Alaska Railroad line. The transport network is a defining feature of the area, with the George Parks Highway and the railroad paralleling the river, connecting remote outposts like Yanert and McKinley Village.

A small Mine and the Denali Airport indicate the intersection of wilderness preservation and localized industry and access. Water features such as the Triple Lakes, Horseshoe Lake, and the expansive Yanert Fork drainage provide a framework for understanding the topographic layout between high peaks like Mt Fellows and Pyramid Mountain. This survey illustrates the early infrastructure that supported both conservation efforts and the essential transit routes through the Alaska interior.
