2019 Map of Karluk D-6 NE

About this map

The Becharof National Wildlife Refuge encompasses the central landscape of this quadrangle, preserving a wilderness where the Aleutian Range meets the coastal lowlands. The terrain is defined by the sharp elevations of the Kejulik Mountains to the north, which give way to a sprawling complex of tundra and wetlands as the land slopes toward the south. The hydrological network is dominated by the meandering Kejulik River, which snakes across the southern portion of the map, fed by smaller tributaries like Marie Cr. This 2019 survey illustrates the characteristic topography of the Alaska Peninsula, where high ridges transition into wide, water-logged valleys shaped by glacial and volcanic activity. The lack of any roads or permanent settlements underscores the protected and remote nature of this segment of the Lake and Peninsula Borough.
