2019 Map of Afognak D-6 SE

About this map

Katmai National Park encompasses the majority of this Alaskan landscape, where the high-altitude terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes and significant glacial features. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the massive presence of Fourpeaked Mtn, a prominent peak that anchors the skyline above the surrounding wilderness. In the western reaches, the Douglas River flows through deep valleys, providing a vital drainage path from the high interior peaks toward the coast. This 2019 survey documents the intricate contour patterns of a region where human settlement is entirely absent, focusing instead on the hydrography and topographical boundaries of the Kenai Peninsula Borough. The map serves as a contemporary record of the shifting glacial ice and watershed boundaries in one of the most secluded sections of the national park system.
