2019 Map of Afognak D-4 NW

About this map

Katmai National Park occupies the southwestern corner of this coastal maritime landscape, where the rugged Alaskan mainland meets the northern reaches of the Pacific Ocean. This 2019 survey documents a sparsely inhabited interface of land and sea, defined by the administrative boundary of the Kenai Peninsula Borough and Kodiak Island Borough. The western coastline shows the intricate topographic detail of the shore before it transitions into the open waters of Cook Inlet. This map serves as a modern record of the shoreline and jurisdictional boundaries in a region where the wilderness of the national park system meets the maritime thoroughfares of southern Alaska. The absence of roads or settlements emphasizes the remote, protected character of the terrain within the park's vicinity.
