2018 Map of Iliamna C-2 SE

About this map

Cook Inlet dominates this coastal survey, where the waters of the Pacific Ocean meet the intricate shoreline of the Kenai Peninsula. The geography is defined by hazardous maritime features that have long challenged navigation in this reach of Alaska. Along the northwestern edge, South Head stands as a prominent coastal landmark near the exposed outcrops of Black Reef and Turtle Reef. To the northeast, the presence of Iniskin Shoal and Pomeroy Island indicates the complex underwater topography of the inlet. This digital-age record captures the precise state of the coastline as documented by the U.S. Geological Survey in the early 21st century, illustrating a landscape primarily shaped by tidal forces and marine geology rather than human development.
