2017 Map of Denali C-5 SE

About this map

Denali National Preserve encompasses most of this 2017 survey area, revealing a wilderness landscape defined by shifting glacial rivers and interior wetlands. The Foraker River and Herron River dominate the hydrology, carving braided channels across the northern half of the quadrangle. These rivers are joined by the meandering Hot Slough, creating a complex network of seasonal watercourses and overflow channels characteristic of the Alaska Range foothills. To the south, the terrain rises into more defined topographic relief, where Live Trap Lake sits as a notable landmark amidst the undulating forest and tundra. The map provides precise detail on the Public Land Survey System divisions, marking the boundaries for t15s r24w, t15s r23w, t16s r24w, and t16s r23w. This modern topographical study serves as a clear record of the area’s natural drainage patterns and land status within the national preserve.
