2017 Map of Kenai C-8 SE

About this map

Lake Clark National Park encompasses the central portion of this 2017 survey, where the braided channels of the Drift River cut through a dramatic topographical landscape. This remote terrain on the western side of the Cook Inlet region is defined by sharp elevation shifts, with the river serving as a primary corridor through the mountain valleys. The cartography reveals the intricate hydrography of the glacial outwash plain, showing how the river's path is constrained by the steep slopes within the t5n r20w, t6n r20w, t5n r19w, and t6n r19w townships. For those studying the wilderness boundaries of south-central Alaska, this map provides precise detail on the intersection of federal protected lands and the shifting hydrology of the glacial river system.
