2017 Map of Denali B-4 NE

About this map

Denali National Park encompasses this entire sub-arctic landscape, defined by a network of braided streams and wetland complexes. The hydrology is dominated by the winding course of Birch Creek in the south and central regions, while the northeastern corner is shaped by Slippery Creek. These watercourses flow through a terrain marked by numerous small ponds and depressions, characteristic of the interior Alaskan wilderness. This 2017 survey details the complex hydrography of the Birch Creek watershed and its tributaries, including Haul Cr, providing an essential look at the preservation of these pristine riparian corridors. The absence of roads or permanent structures reflects the protected status of the park and the remoteness of the Denali Borough interior during the early twenty-first century.
