National Geographic Trails Illustrated
Review (PDF) Denali National Park And Preserve (National Geographic Trails Illustrated Map) • Waterproof • Tear-Resistant • Topographic MapDenali National Park and Preserve covers a staggering six million acres of truly wild and pristine wilderness, bisected by a single road. The crown jewel of the park is the towering 20,320 foot Mount McKinley, North America’s tallest peak. Expertly researched and created in partnership with local land management agencies, National Geographic’s Trails Illustrated map of Denali National Park provides an unparalleled tool for exploring this remarkable region. Key areas of interest featured on this map include Denali State Park; Kroto, Moose Creek, and Lake Creek recreation rivers; Lake Minchumina; and the Kantishna Mining District. The print version of the map includes a detailed inset of the park entrance and headquarters.If you wish to camp in the park, a chart of campground information that includes the distance from the entrance, number and type of spaces, facilities, access, and contact information for making your reservations will help you plan your stay. Private vehicle travel in the park is limited, but this map’s coverage of the shuttle bus system will ensure you have the knowledge you need to access the entire park. Helpful information about regulations, avoiding close encounters with bears, hiking in the Kantishna Mining District, and safety tips, as well as clearly marked campgrounds, rental cabins, bush airstrips, trailheads, and more will help you enjoy all the park has to offer. The map base includes contour lines and elevations for summits, passes and many lakes.Every Trails Illustrated map is printed on "Backcountry Tough" waterproof, tear-resistant paper. -

Late Quaternary Environments, Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska SCOTT A
ARCTIC VOL. 49, NO. 3 (SEPTEMBER 1996) P. 292– 305 Late Quaternary Environments, Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska SCOTT A. ELIAS,1 SUSAN K. SHORT1,2 and CHRISTOPHER F. WAYTHOMAS3 (Received 2 February 1996; accepted in revised form 26 May 1996) ABSTRACT. Late Quaternary pollen, plant macrofossils, and insect fossils were studied from sites along three rivers in the foothills north of the Alaska Range in Denali National Park and Preserve. The aim was to carry out a reconaissance of late Quaternary organic sediments in the region, emphasizing the mid-Wisconsin, or Boutellier interstadial interval. Samples of probable early- to mid-Boutellier age (ca. 60 000 to 40 000 B.P.) from Unit 2 at the Toklat High Bluffs site indicate open boreal woodland with dense alder shrub vegetation. Organic Unit 1 at the Foraker River Slump site indicates open taiga with shrubs of probable Boutellier age. Fossil evidence from the youngest horizon in this unit indicates graminoid tundra environments, marking the transition from interstadial to late Wisconsin glacial environments. Early Holocene samples from the Foraker exposures suggest birch shrub tundra; coniferous forest apparently became established only after 6500 B.P. Local variations in forest composition at the Foraker and Sushana sites were probably the result of disturbances, such as fire. Key words: Late Quaternary environments, Denali National Park, Alaska, pollen, insect fossils RÉSUMÉ. Les grains de pollen et les pièces macrofossiles de plantes et d’insectes, caractérisant le quaternaire tardif, ont été étudiés dans des sites localisés le long de trois rivières coulant à proximité du versant nord de l’Alaska Range, dans le parc national et la réserve Denali. -
A Vegetated Dune Field in Central Alaska
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO ACCOMPANY MAP MF-1708 U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY A VEGETATED DUNE FIELD IN CENTRAL ALASKA By Florence R. Coll ins SUMMARY and the Alaska Range (fig. 1). It can be divided into two major tracts separated by the northeastern part cf the Kuskokwim Mountains. The Southeastern Tract extends about 160 mi southwestward from the Tanana River and has a A 4,800 mi dune field occupies lowlands in central maximum width of 50 mi. The Kantishna River drains1 most Alaska in a roughly triangular area between the lower of its length, and the southwestern part continues into the Nowitna River. Nenana, and the Alaska Range. The field can basin of the Swift Fork of the Kuskokwim River. The South be divided into two tracts: (1) the Northwestern Tract, which eastern Tract is subdivided into an eastern area east of the extends 90 mi west-southwestward from the Tanana River Kantishna River, a central area west of the Kantishr ^ and and is separated from the Southeastern Tract by the north of the Muddy, and a southwestern area to the so'ith of Kuskokwim Mountains; (2) the Southeastern Tract, which the Muddy River. The Northwestern Tract is nearly 90 mi extends southwest from the Tanana River and is 160 mi long long and has a maximum width of 30 mi. It extends frcrn the and a maximum of 50 mi wide. The Southeastern Tract is Tanana River west-southwestward to the Nowitna River, subdivided by the Kantishna and Muddy Rivers into eastern, which is west of the Fairbanks mapping meridian in the central, and southwestern areas. -
