About this map

Chelatna Lodge sits as a primary point of human activity in this remote region, positioned near the southern tip of the expansive Chelatna Lake. This modern survey illustrates the meeting point of high alpine terrain and intricate wetlands, where the foothills of the Alaska Range descend into the swampy lowlands of the Susitna River basin. Portions of Denali National Park occupy the northeastern quadrant, protecting a landscape defined by glacier-fed drainages like Lake Creek and Treasure Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the complex hydrological network typical of this part of Alaska, featuring the winding paths of Sunflower Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Camp Creek as they traverse the glacial till and muskeg flats south of the higher peaks.
