2017 Map of Kenai A-8 SW

About this map

Lake Clark National Park dominates this terrain on the western side of the Cook Inlet region, where high-altitude ice fields feed a complex hydrological system. The movement of ice is recorded through the prominent Johnson Glacier in the north and Double Glacier further south, while Lateral Glacier and Red Glacier define the southwestern reaches of the sheet. These massive ice bodies serve as the primary headwaters for the Johnson River, which flows through the central valley toward the coast. The topography is defined by the steep drainage basins of these glacial systems, including the path of Red Cr in the southeast. This survey provides a precise look at the glacial margins and drainage patterns within the protected wilderness of the Kenai Peninsula Borough during the early twenty-first century.
