2023 Map of Denali C-4 NE

About this map

Denali National Park encompasses this entire interior landscape, where the wide, braided corridor of the McKinley River serves as the dominant geographical force. Flowing northward through the center of the sheet, the river's expansive gravel bars and shifting channels demonstrate the dynamic nature of Alaskan glacial runoff. This high-latitude environment is further defined by Slippery Creek, which meanders through the western portion of the quadrangle before its eventual confluence with the larger river system. The map documents a portion of the vast wilderness preserved within the park, illustrating the complex drainage patterns and wetland systems that characterize the region. Without roads or permanent settlements, the terrain remains defined entirely by its hydrography and the administrative boundaries of the national park system.
