About this map

The Denali National Preserve encompasses much of this area, where the high ridges of the Kichatna Mountains give way to a complex braided river system. The West Fork Yentna River dominates the southern landscape, winding through a broad glacial valley marked by shifting channels and seasonal wetlands. This drainage pattern highlights the dynamic nature of the Alaskan interior, as high-elevation meltwater from steep terrain flows toward the river's gravel bars and forested banks.
