2016 Map of Healy D-5 SW

About this map

Denali National Park encompasses the rugged southern portion of this landscape, dominated by significant elevation gains and prominent landmarks such as Mt Margaret and Primrose Ridge. The topography is defined by the high-altitude drainage systems of the Savage River and Sanctuary River, which carve north-south through the terrain. The northern half of the map transition into lower, marshy areas characterized by extensive wetlands and braided stream networks. The presence of smaller tributaries like Sunday Creek and Ewe Creek illustrates the intricate hydraulic patterns of the Alaska interior. This map documents a wilderness environment with no established road infrastructure or permanent settlements, emphasizing the natural boundary and topographic complexity of the protected parklands during the early twenty-first century.
