2014 Map of Talkeetna C-3 SW

About this map

Denali National Park encompasses the majority of this landscape, where the high-altitude terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes and glacial activity. The northeastern portion of the map is dominated by the Kahiltna Glacier, a massive ice feature that shapes the local hydrology and topography. In the southwest, the waters of Chelatna Lake sit at the base of steep slopes, serving as a primary collection point for the surrounding drainage systems. The map traces the paths of alpine waterways such as Coffee Cr and Snowslide Cr, which cut through the technical contouring of the Alaska Range. This 2014 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures a region of wilderness where the absence of roads or permanent settlements highlights the protected and inaccessible nature of the park's interior.
