2017 Map of Kenai B-8 SE

About this map

The Aleutian Range dominates this portion of the Kenai Peninsula, where steep topographic contours define a landscape of high alpine ridges and glacial drainage basins. Much of the southern and central terrain is protected within Lake Clark National Park, a designation that preserves the complex hydrological network of the region. The Crescent River serves as the primary artery for the area, fed by the glacial melt of the Lake Fork Crescent River and the North Fork Crescent River. This 2017 survey illustrates a wilderness nearly devoid of human infrastructure, focusing instead on the precise natural boundaries and the extensive wetlands documented by the FWS National Wetlands Inventory. The mapping of Lcnp land highlights the intersection of federal conservation and the raw geological forces of the Alaskan coast.
