2018 Map of Iliamna A-3 SE

About this map

Katmai National Park encompasses the majority of this wilderness landscape on the Kenai Peninsula, where the coastline meets the Pacific Ocean. This 2018 survey illustrates a rugged coastal interface defined by steep topographic contours that drop sharply toward the shoreline. The northern half of the quadrangle is dominated by open water and several small, unnamed coastal islands, while the southern portion features the drainage of the Douglas River as it flows toward the sea. The absence of roads or established settlements highlights the remote character of this protected area, which remains primarily under federal jurisdiction. Researchers can examine the intricate shoreline and the high-elevation ridges that overlook the coast, providing a detailed record of the natural geography within the park boundaries during the early 21st century.
