2017 Map of Kenai A-8 NE

About this map

Lake Clark National Park and the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge converge at the shores of Tuxedni Bay, where the glacial influence on the terrain is evident in the steep coastal topography. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by dynamic coastal processes, featuring prominent landmarks like Fossil Point and the steep slopes of Rusty Mtn. Navigation through the Tuxedni Channel provides access to the sheltered waters of Snug Harbor and Squarehead Cove. The drainage patterns of the region are defined by systems such as Hungryman Creek and Difficult Cr, which flow from the high interior peaks toward the Cook Inlet waters. This survey captures a transitional coastal environment where protected wilderness boundaries meet the silt-heavy deltas of the Tuxedni River, providing a clear view of the interface between upland glaciers and maritime ecosystems.
