2023 Map of Denali B-4 NW

About this map

Foraker River dominates the central drainage of this interior Alaska wilderness, carving a wide path through the protected lands of Denali National Preserve and Denali National Park. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where several smaller tributaries including Birch Creek, White Creek, and Hill Creek converge towards the river valley. The topography reveals the transition from higher elevations in the west, marked by significant contour lines, down toward the expansive river flats. This 2023 survey serves as a contemporary record of the shifting braided channels of the Foraker River as it traverses the boundary between the national preserve and the national park, illustrating the undisturbed glacial drainage patterns characteristic of the Denali region.
