2017 Map of Talkeetna B-6 SW

About this map

Denali National Preserve encompasses a significant portion of this high-elevation wilderness within the Alaska Range. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several major drainage systems, including the Earl River, Morris Cr, and Threemile Cr. These glacial-fed waterways carve deep through the terrain, with Simpson Pass providing a critical high-altitude corridor between the western and eastern slopes. In the northeastern corner of the map, the Kichatna River begins its course, marking a primary drainage route for the surrounding peaks. This 2017 survey details a remote area devoid of permanent human settlement or infrastructure, focusing instead on the complex topography and natural boundaries of the national preserve and surrounding township grids.
