About this map

The Alaska Range defines the high-elevation terrain of this 2017 survey, where the administrative boundaries of Denali National Park and Denali National Preserve meet. This landscape is shaped by a dense network of watercourses, including the southward-flowing Colorado Cr and Sunflower Cr, which drains the high-altitude Sunflower Basin. The drainage patterns here are steep and complex, evidenced by features such as Stern Gulch and Snowslide Cr.

To the southeast, the terrain descends toward the shoreline of Chelatna Lake, a significant water body at the edge of the high country. For those studying the hydrology of the Talkeetna region, the map provides detailed placement of tributaries like Idaho Cr, Cripple Cr, and Easter Cr. The map serves as a contemporary record of this protected wilderness area, documenting the intersections of public land boundaries with the natural topography.
