2017 Map of Denali D-6 NE

About this map

The North Fork Kuskokwim River defines this sub-arctic terrain, meandering across a landscape shaped by glacial and alluvial forces. The river's complex hydrological patterns are evident in the numerous oxbow lakes and abandoned channels that mark its course through the interior of Alaska. This 2017 study illustrates the drainage basin of the N Fork Kuskokwim River as it passes through the vast Unorganized Borough, providing a detailed record of the shoreline and water levels as they existed in the early 21st century. The map is primarily a record of natural topography and hydrological features, showing the river's path through undeveloped wilderness where human infrastructure is absent, leaving only the water and the land to tell the story of the region.
