About this map

Denali National Park encompasses the majority of this Alaskan wilderness, where the high-altitude terrain of the Alaska Range is defined by significant ice and water movement. Mount Goldie stands as a prominent peak in the northwest, overlooking the massive Kanikula Glacier. The drainage patterns are clearly established by the Tokositna River, which is fed by the Tokositna Glacier and numerous mountain streams. Smaller waterways including Wildhorse Cr, Bear Cr, and Ramsdyke Cr carve through the glacial valleys. A single human passage, the Winter Trl, provides a seasonal route through the southern portion of the quadrangle, highlighting the extreme isolation and preservation of this protected landscape. The map provides a detailed view of the complex interaction between glacial recession and river formation at the foot of the continent's highest peaks.
