About this map

The Aleutian Range dominates this portion of the Alaska Peninsula, where steep elevations and complex drainage patterns define the landscape. The terrain is marked by significant topographical shifts, rising toward the prominent Big Butte in the southern section of the quadrangle. Several water systems, including the aptly named Landlocked Creek and the shifting channels of Braided Creek, carve through the glacial or volcanic deposits characteristic of this region.

The map provides an intricate look at the hydrology of the area, distinguishing between the larger Landlocked Creek and its smaller tributaries like Landlocked Cr, as well as the flow of Bluff Cr. This 2020 survey is a precise record of an uninhabited wilderness, documenting the raw physical geography of the Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge area before future environmental changes might alter these remote watercourses.
