2023 Map of Denali D-1 SW

About this map

Denali National Park and the adjacent Denali Wilderness encompass the eastern portions of this landscape, where the braided channels of the Toklat River flow northward. This 2023 survey illustrates the drainage systems of the northern Alaska Range foothills, defined by numerous named watercourses such as Crooked Creek, Little Moose Creek, and the Clearwater Fork. In the southern reaches, the Stampede Airport provides a remote landing strip near the headwaters of Stampede Creek. The map details the complex topography and drainage basins of Little Caribou Creek and Morten Creek, providing an essential record of this preserved subarctic environment. The lack of road infrastructure outside of the backcountry airstrip emphasizes the protected and undeveloped nature of the Denali interior during the early 21st century.
