2023 Map of Denali D-1 SE

About this map

Denali National Park encompasses this high-latitude terrain, where the northern interior of Alaska remains largely undeveloped. This 2023 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a landscape shaped by powerful glacial and fluvial systems, most notably the braided channels of the Toklat River and the East Fork Toklat River as they flow northward. These river systems, along with the tributary Wigand Creek, define the drainage patterns of this subarctic environment. The boundary of the Denali Wilderness cuts across the southeast, marking a transition into an area of even stricter environmental protection. For those studying the geography of the Alaska Range, this map provides precise topographic data on the shifting riverbars and elevations that characterize the park's protected interior.
