2014 Map of Healy D-6 NW

About this map

Denali National Park encompasses nearly the entire landscape in this 2014 survey of the Healy D-6 NW quadrangle. The terrain is defined by the northward flow of the Sushana River, which cuts a distinct valley through the center of the sheet as it moves from the higher elevations in the south toward the lower plains. A prominent human element in this otherwise wilderness area is the Stampede Trail, which skirts the southern edge of the map. This route has long been a point of interest for those tracking the modern history of travel and survival within the Alaskan interior. The map captures the precise topography of the river's drainage basin and the transition from mountain foothills to more level ground, providing a clear view of the drainage patterns and land boundaries within the park's protected borders.
