2023 Map of Denali C-3 SW

About this map

McKinley River winds through this interior landscape, defining the hydrology of the western reaches of Denali National Park. The survey illustrates the expansive wetlands and braided river systems characteristic of the Alaskan interior, showing the natural drainage patterns before they transition into higher elevations. This specific quadrangle serves as a detailed record of the park's wilderness boundaries and the complex, shifting course of the river. The lack of modern road infrastructure or permanent settlements underscores the protected, primitive state of the land under federal management. Researchers can trace the exact section and township lines, such as t15s r20w and t16s r19w, which delineate the vast public land survey system within the park's interior.
