2023 Map of Denali D-2 NW

About this map

Denali National Park encompasses the vast majority of this subarctic landscape, where a dense network of braided waterways and wetlands defines the terrain. The Bearpaw River meanders through the central and eastern sections, joined by significant tributaries including Bear Creek, Flume Creek, and Otter Creek. These watercourses flow through a complex system of marshes and small ponds, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of the Alaskan interior. This 2023 U.S. Geological Survey representation provides a clear view of the wilderness before any significant human infrastructure or road networks have reached this portion of the park. The map serves as a primary record of the hydrography in this undeveloped region, capturing the seasonal shifts and land divisions across townships like t11s r17w.
