The Sanctuary River Cabin No. 31, located on the Sanctuary River at Mile 22.7 S of Park Rd. in Denali National Park & Preserve, Alaska is a log cabin that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was listed in 1986. The listing included three contributing buildings and one other contributing object.
It was built by the Alaska Road Commission in 1926 as the center of a road construction camp, and was adopted by park rangers in wintertime dog sled patrols as a replacement for a different cabin located about five miles south.
This was the cabin where Adolph Murie "began his field work investigating the wolf-Dall sheep relationship in the park...in the summer of 1939."
