2023 Map of Denali D-4 SE

About this map

McKinley River dominates this interior Alaskan landscape, meandering through a complex network of wetlands and braided channels as it flows across the Denali National Park and Denali National Preserve. The terrain represents a transition between protected parkland and preserve boundaries, defined by the shifting course of the river and the intricate hydrography of the surrounding basin. This 2023 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a modern topographic record of the wilderness within the Denali Borough, capturing the remote drainage patterns that characterize this portion of the interior. The map is primarily an environmental and topographic study of the river corridor, where natural boundaries and township lines like t12s r21w and t13s r21w overlay the unpopulated subarctic wilderness.
