2016 Map of Healy C-6 NE

About this map

Denali National Park encompasses this high-altitude landscape, where the northern slopes are defined by the glacial drainage of the Teklanika River and the Sushana River. In this 2016 survey, the Denali National Park Road is the primary artery of human transit, winding through the eastern portion of the quadrangle along the Teklanika valley. The map documents a transition from the braided riverbeds in the lowlands to the sharp rise of Mt Wright in the northeast corner. This area serves as a critical point for understanding the preservation of subarctic ecosystems, showing the proximity of designated wilderness boundaries to the park's limited infrastructure. Small tributaries like Big Cr provide further detail on the hydrology of the Alaska Range's northern foothills.
