2023 Map of Denali C-2 NW

About this map

Denali National Park encompasses the majority of this interior Alaskan landscape, dominated by a complex network of glacial meltwater and mountain streams. The Bearpaw River winds through the northern sections of the quadrangle, joined by the tributaries of Beauty Creek and Caribou Creek. This high-latitude terrain is defined by its dramatic elevation changes and the raw hydrology of the subarctic, where drainage patterns like those of Glacier Creek and Rock Creek carve through the wilderness. Mapping this area in the early 2020s shows the contemporary extent of protected federal lands and the precise survey of remote townships, including portions of t14s r18w and t15s r17w, where the absence of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the region's preservation as a vast natural corridor.
