2023 Map of Denali C-5 NE

About this map

The Denali National Preserve encompasses the southeastern portion of this landscape, where the meandering Foraker River flows northward through a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies. The terrain is defined by its dramatic glacial hydrology, featuring the expansive Lake Minchumina on the western edge and the southern reaches of the Herron River. This map reveals a largely uninhabited wilderness where water dictates the movement of the land, particularly through features like Hot Slough and Foraker Pond. The grid of the Public Land Survey System, including t14s r24w, overlays this remote subarctic environment, providing a structured framework for a region otherwise shaped entirely by natural forces and seasonal flow.
