2015 Map of Denali B-3 NW

About this map

Denali National Park encompasses the vast majority of this landscape, documented in 2015 by the U.S. Geological Survey. The terrain is defined by the braided path of the McKinley River in the northeast and the winding course of Slippery Creek as it moves through the southern and central sections of the quadrangle. Smaller drainages like McLeod Cr feed into the larger water systems, illustrating the complex hydrology of this interior Alaskan wilderness. This survey emphasizes the natural topography and water flow within protected federal lands, where human infrastructure is largely absent. The map's detail focuses on the subtle elevation changes and drainage patterns that characterize the area's subarctic environment, providing a technical baseline for the park's geographic layout at the start of the twenty-first century.
