2023 Map of Denali B-5 NE

About this map

Denali National Preserve and Denali National Park define the administrative landscape of this wilderness region, where the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) provides the primary framework for orientation. This 2023 survey documents the topography of the Alaska interior, with elevations defined by complex contour lines and hydrological networks. The map covers portions of several townships including T17s R24w, T16s R24w, and T18s R24w, illustrating the transition from protected preserve lands to the national park boundaries. Without roads or named settlements, the map focuses on the raw terrain data, reflecting the preservation of this ecosystem as it exists in the early twenty-first century. It is a vital document for those studying the intersection of federal land management and the glacial-carved geology of the Denali region.
