About this map

Denali National Preserve and Denali National Park meet in this interior Alaskan landscape, where the high-elevation contours of the east drop sharply toward a vast network of wetlands and river systems. The Muddy River meanders through the central terrain, feeding into and drawing from several prominent water bodies including Big Lily Lake and Starr Lake.

Hydrological patterns are the dominant characteristic of this region, as the Kantishna River and Birch Creek carve through the southern reaches. To the southeast, the large expanse of Chilchukabena Lake sits at the foot of the rising uplands. This area remains largely defined by its natural water features and protected wilderness status, showing no established roads or settlements, but providing a precise look at the drainage basins and topographic shifts of the Denali borough.
