About this map

Becharof Lake defines the northern reaches of this coastal wilderness, where its waters meet the tidal inlet of Bellim Bay. The terrain rises sharply toward the southeast into the rugged peaks of the Aleutian Range, creating a dramatic transition from lake-level wetlands to high mountain slopes. This landscape is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Becharof Cr and Sulphur Cr, which drain the uplands and reveal the complex drainage patterns typical of the Alaska Peninsula. The convergence of multiple forks, such as N Fork Rex Cr and S Fork Rex Cr, highlights the erosional forces shaping the local geography. The boundary between the Lake and Peninsula and Kodiak Island Boroughs passes through the high ridges, marking an administrative divide across a largely untouched natural expanse.
