2016 Map of Healy D-5 NW

About this map

Denali National Park encompasses the central portion of this interior Alaskan landscape, where the braided channels of the Teklanika River and Savage River flow northward toward the Tanana Valley. This 2016 survey documents a high-altitude wilderness defined by drainage basins like Bear Cr and Fish Cr, which carve through the foothills of the Alaska Range. In the southeastern corner, the presence of Eightmile Lake and the terminal stretch of Stampede Road provide rare points of human accessibility in an otherwise roadless terrain. The map's detail of the creek systems, including Rock Cr, illustrates the complex hydrology of the region before these waters join larger glacial rivers downstream. This document serves as a precise record of the topography and water bodies that define the northern fringes of one of America's most significant protected wilderness areas.
