2023 Map of Denali D-5 NE

About this map

Lake Minchumina defines the southern reach of this interior landscape, where the waters of the Muddy River and Spence Creek converge in a sprawling wetland system. This modern survey illustrates the intersection of administrative boundaries, as the Denali National Preserve encompasses the eastern portion of the quadrangle while the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area and Denali Borough meet in the northeast. The terrain is characterized by low-lying basin floor near the lake, rising toward the south at Yutokh Hill. The absence of roads or established settlements emphasizes the remote nature of this wilderness corridor, where the natural hydrography dictates the shape of the land and any potential historical travel routes.
