2020 Map of Iliamna D-3 NW

About this map

The Aleutian Range dominates this landscape within the Lake Clark National Preserve, where high-altitude peaks and glacial drainages define the wilderness of the Lake and Peninsula Borough. The map detail highlights the intricate drainage systems of Canyon Cr and Knutson Cr as they cut through the steep contours of the southern Alaska interior. The absence of roads or established settlements reflects the remote, protected status of this region, which is managed primarily for its natural and cultural resource preservation. Instead of human infrastructure, the terrain itself is the primary focus, revealing the complex topography and hydrological patterns that characterize the area's transition from mountain peaks to lower-lying valleys. This survey is a focused study of the undeveloped backcountry in the eastern portion of the preserve.
