About this map

Denali National Park encompasses much of this interior Alaskan landscape, dominated by the massive ice flows of the Kahiltna Glacier and Kanikula Glacier. These glacial systems carve through high-elevation terrain, feeding a network of drainages that descend into the lower valleys. The topography is defined by the sharp transition from permanent ice fields to the rugged stream beds of Granite Creek and Hidden Creek.

Remote and largely untouched by permanent settlement, this area in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough is a study in high-latitude hydrology. Tributaries such as Wildhorse Creek and Dutch Creek draw their waters from the surrounding peaks, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Alaska Range. The map provides an essential baseline for understanding the glacial margins and wilderness boundaries as they appeared in the early 21st century.
