About this map

Denali National Preserve occupies much of this landscape, where the braided channels of the Swift Fork dominate the southwestern reaches. This 2017 survey illustrates the complex hydrology of the Alaskan interior, showing the confluence of glacial runoff and mountain streams within the Denali Borough Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area boundary. The Shisnona River and Fish River flow through the northern and eastern sectors, supported by numerous tributaries including Jack Frost Cr and Deep Cr.

The presence of isolated water bodies such as Dull Ax Lake and Albert Lake amid the vast drainage networks of Dry Cr and Telidaside Cr highlights the untouched nature of this subarctic wilderness. By tracking the shifting gravel bars of the Swift Fork, researchers can observe the active morphological changes characteristic of this remote environment near the intersection of several townships, including t18s r27w and t19s r26w.
