About this map

The Aghileen Pinnacles rise as a striking geological landmark within this 1983 survey of the Alaska Peninsula, marking the divide between the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge and the Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge. The landscape is dominated by volcanic features and glacial drainage patterns, centered on the prominent Mount Emmons and the adjacent Emmons Lake.

This area, devoid of roads or permanent settlements, is defined by its dramatic topography, including Lefthand Valley and Righthand Valley. The Cathedral River carves through Cathedral Valley in the northeast, while North Creek flows toward the coast. The map illustrates a strictly preserved wilderness, delineated by various administrative boundaries including the Wilderness Boundary, highlighting the region's status as a protected habitat at the time of the 1983 revision.
