Alaska Range Map
The Alaska Range is a mountain range in the United States, about 1,000 km (621 mi) long. This map shows the range on shaded relief, with peaks, rivers, borders and cities.
How to read this map
The range is about 1,000 km (621 mi) long.
The dashed outline marks the Alaska Range as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Anchorage and Fairbanks.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders, and fine dashed lines show state or province borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of the Alaska Range come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where the Alaska Range is, not a surveyed boundary.
