2023 Map of Denali C-6 NW

About this map

Denali National Preserve extends across the southern portion of this landscape, marking a boundary where the interior wilderness meets protected federal lands. The terrain is defined by the prominent Snohomish Hills in the northeast and the elevated Munsatli Ridge along the western edge, overlooking a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies. The hydrological character of the area is anchored by the winding Fish Creek and several isolated lakes, including the central Spirit Lake and a portion of the significant Lake Minchumina in the southeast corner. This recent U.S. Geological Survey representation documents the administrative divide between the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area and the Denali Borough, capturing the sparse, water-heavy geography of the Alaskan interior before any significant infrastructure development.
