About this map

Katmai National Preserve dominates the central and southern portions of this landscape, where the drainage systems of the Alaska Peninsula shape the high-elevation terrain. The hydrology of the region is defined by glacial waters feeding into Funnel Creek and Moraine Cr, which navigate through the complex contours of the Lake and Peninsula Borough. This wilderness is punctuated by named water bodies such as Mirror Lake and the unusually shaped Spectacle Lake, illustrating the post-glacial topography common in this part of the subarctic. To the east, the headwaters of the N Fork Paint River begin their descent toward the coast, crossing the boundary into the Kenai Peninsula Borough. The map highlights a region devoid of permanent settlements or roads, focusing instead on the hydrographic network and public land survey system lines that delineate these vast government-managed lands.
