2014 Map of Talkeetna D-2 NE

About this map

Denali National Park and its high alpine wilderness dominate this 2014 survey, highlighting the massive glacial systems and jagged peaks of the Alaska Range. The survey focuses on the upper reaches of the Ruth Glacier, including the expansive Ruth Amphitheater and the dramatic constriction known as The Great Gorge. These features represent a landscape defined by ice movement and sheer vertical relief, where massive formations like Mooses Tooth, Mount Dickey, and Mount Barrille tower over the frozen valleys. To the east, the Buckskin Glacier flows through the high terrain, separated from the Ruth system by a series of prominent summits including Mount Church, Mount Lee, and Mount Glisen. The topography captured here is a study in extreme glacial geography, mapping the exact positions of Pittock Pass and The Gateway during the early 21st century.
