2016 Map of Healy C-5 NW

About this map

Denali National Park terrain defines this portion of the Alaska Range, where high-altitude ridges and glacial river valleys dominate the landscape. The Sanctuary River and Savage River flow northward through deep valleys, carved by the same forces that shaped the prominent Mt Wright and the long expanse of Primrose Ridge. This 2016 survey shows the critical infrastructure supporting travel through this interior wilderness, most notably the Denali National Park Road as it winds across the northern sections of the map. For those exploring the higher elevations, the Savage Alpine Trail provides a route along the ridges east of the rivers. The map serves as a contemporary record of federal land management, illustrating the vast roadless areas where seasonal waterways like Jenny Cr snake through the drainage basins of the central park interior.
