2018 Map of Iliamna C-3 NE

About this map

The Iliamna River winds through the northern reaches of this landscape, a vital waterway at the edge of the Kenai Peninsula Borough and Lake and Peninsula Borough boundary. The Williamsport-Pile Bay Road provides the primary overland corridor through the interior, connecting remote drainages. This terrain is defined by its complex hydrology, with the high-elevation headwaters of Chinkelyes Cr, Silver Cr, and Ptarmigan Cr carving through the steep topography. The map illustrates a transitional zone where human infrastructure is limited to a single strategic roadway, leaving the vast majority of the river systems in their natural state. These features highlight the importance of the narrow transportation route in navigating the difficult geography of this region.
