2018 Map of Iliamna A-5 SE

About this map

McNeil Lake sits at the center of this drainage landscape on the Kenai Peninsula, where high-elevation headwaters feed into complex river systems. The northern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the Paint River and its primary tributaries, including the Middle Fork Paint River and the S Fork Paint River. This terrain is defined by steep elevation changes, with numerous small drainages like Crevice Cr and Kenty Cr cutting through the uplands. The southern half of the map is shaped by the McNeil River, which flows eastward toward the coast. This 2018 survey illustrates the untouched hydrological patterns of the region, emphasizing the connectivity between alpine lakes and the larger river valleys that dictate the movement of water across this part of Alaska.
