This charming pictorial map by Lucas Harrison highlights the sights and activities in Mt. McKinley National Park, now known as Denali National Park and Preserve. The major roads, railroads, rivers, and points of interest are noted on the map, surrounded by whimsical images of moose, beavers, wolves, mountain goats, bears, and humans enjoying nature. A unique compass rose features an outline map of Alaska centered on Mt. McKinley with concentric circles to show the distance from various cities to the park. Below the map is a chart with profile views of different mountains worldwide to compare their heights. On verso are photographic images and additional information on the national park.
