2019 Map of Afognak D-5 SW

About this map

Katmai National Park dominates this remote stretch of the Alaska Peninsula, where the landscape is defined by massive glacial systems and volcanic peaks. The peak of Mt Douglas rises in the northern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a prominent landmark near the jurisdictional boundary where the Kenai Peninsula Borough meets the Kodiak Island Borough. The topography is characterized by the movement of ice, most notably at Spotted Glacier, which flows through the high-elevation terrain. This 2019 survey captures the wilderness in a state of natural flux, showing the complex contour patterns of the Aleutian Range before they reach the coast. The map provides a precise record of the township and range lines, including t15s r26w and t16s r26w, which assist in orienting this undeveloped landscape within the broader Katmai wilderness.
