About this map

Denali National Park encompasses a significant portion of this interior Alaskan landscape, dominated by the winding path of the McKinley River. The northern portion of the map is defined by the high elevations of the Kantishna Hills, where Brooker Mtn serves as a prominent landmark. This area, known for its historical mining activity, is drained by a network of waterways including Slate Cr and Bear Cr that flow through the upland terrain.

South of the river, the landscape shifts toward a lower, marshy environment characterized by the McKinley Bar and various water bodies like McLeod Lake. The drainage pattern here is defined by the McLeod Cr and the larger Muddy River, illustrating the complex glacial and alluvial processes that have shaped this subarctic wilderness. The topography transitions from the dramatic Eagle Gorge in the west to the expansive flats of the river valley, providing a detailed look at the hydrology and landforms near the heart of the Alaska Range.
