2023 Map of Denali C-4 SW

About this map

Denali National Park and the Denali National Preserve dominate this high-latitude terrain, where the boundary between park and preserve status splits the wilderness landscape. The northern reaches of the Foraker River flow through the southern section of the quadrangle, joined by the winding course of Birch Creek as it meanders through a dense network of smaller unnamed tributaries and wetlands. The map provides a precise layout of the Public Land Survey System grid, including townships t15s r23w and t16s r22w, illustrating how these administrative lines impose structure upon a vast, roadless subarctic environment. This 2023 edition documents the hydrography and glacial drainage patterns of the interior before any modern infrastructure has altered the natural flow of these vital Alaskan waterways.
