2016 Map of Healy D-6 SE

About this map

Denali National Park encompasses the southern portion of this 2016 survey, where the rising elevations of the Alaska Range dominate the horizon. This terrain is defined by its dramatic glacial drainage patterns, as several significant watercourses flow northward through the mountain foothills. The Teklanika River and Sushana River carve deep paths through the landscape in the western and central sections, while the Sanctuary River defines the eastern boundary of the sheet. The map illustrates the wilderness character of the subarctic interior, showing a landscape shaped by these braided river systems and high-elevation contours, with almost no human infrastructure present beyond the formal boundaries of the national park. The cartography provides a clear record of the hydrography and topographical relief within this protected Alaskan wilderness during the early 21st century.
