About this map

Denali National Park encompasses the northern portion of this landscape, where the Swift Fork river cuts across the high terrain. The area is defined by a complex drainage network, including Boulder Creek and the intersection of Camp Creek and Canyon Creek near the Purkeypile Airport. This airfield serves as a vital point of access in a region devoid of major road infrastructure, suggesting the reliance on bush aviation for movement through this part of the Alaska Range interior. To the south, the terrain descends toward Brown Bear Basin, a prominent geographic feature that gathers the flow of Basin Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range divisions, such as t22s r25w and t33n r16w, which trace the administrative survey of this wilderness area.
