2014 Map of Talkeetna D-4 SE

About this map

Denali National Park encompasses the central terrain of this map, revealing a landscape defined by high-altitude glacial systems. The Yentna Glacier flows through the western portion of the quadrangle, while the Lacuna Glacier is situated to the southeast, illustrating the immense ice field network characteristic of the Alaska Range. A significant administrative boundary, the Denali Matanuska-Susitna line, cuts diagonally across the northern half of the sheet, marking the intersection of the national park and the borough. This 2014 survey documents the precise glacial extents and topographic contours of a region where the elevation and movement of ice dictate the geography. The absence of roads or permanent structures underscores the wilderness character of the area, providing a detailed record of high-mountain hydrology and glaciology at the start of the twenty-first century.
