2017 Map of Talkeetna D-5 NE

About this map

Denali National Park encompasses the eastern portion of this high-latitude landscape, where the vast braid plain of the Swift Fork river dominates the northern terrain. The topographic detail reveals a stark contrast between the wide, glacial outwash of the river valley and the sharp relief of the southern peaks. Higher elevations are defined by prominent landmarks such as Heart Mtn and Little Mtn, which rise above a network of drainage systems including Boulder Creek and Canyon Cr. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the untouched character of the Denali Borough wilderness, illustrating how natural drainage patterns like Camp Cr navigate the steep contours. For those studying the hydrology of the Alaska Range or the boundaries of protected federal lands, the map provides precise data on the intersection of the park boundary with regional township and range lines.
