About this map

Chelatna Lake and its surrounding wilderness define this high-latitude landscape in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. The sheet captures a significant portion of Denali National Park, where the high alpine terrain gives way to the Kahiltna Glacier in the northeast. The presence of Chelatna Lodge on the southern shore of the lake marks a rare point of habitation in a region otherwise characterized by a dense network of watercourses and seasonal routes. Navigational corridors like the Winter Trl suggest the importance of winter access across this terrain. The drainage systems are extensive, with Lake Cr, Sunflower Cr, and Treasure Cr carving through the slopes. This survey provides a precise record of the hydrological and topographic features before the ongoing shifts in glacial ice and permafrost alter the remote interior.
