2017 Map of Denali C-5 NE

About this map

Denali National Preserve encompasses the majority of this Alaskan wilderness, where the complex hydrology of the interior takes center stage. The Foraker River meanders through the central terrain, eventually joined by the Herron River in the southwestern reaches. This survey highlights a landscape dominated by shifting watercourses and seasonal drainage patterns, evidenced by features like Hot Slough and the isolated Foraker Pond. The map also captures a significant administrative boundary where the Denali Borough meets the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area. Free of permanent roads or settlements, the area is defined by its natural water networks and the preservation of the vast, roadless expanse characteristic of the region’s glacial outwash plains.
