2017 Map of Kenai D-7 NW

About this map

Lake Clark National Park encompasses the southern portion of this high-altitude landscape, where the terrain is defined by the immense movement of ice and the formation of glacial waters. In the northern sections, the Blockade Glacier descends through steep contours, feeding directly into the elongated basin of Blockade Lake. This 2017 survey illustrates the stark hydrologic relationship between the glacier and the lake it sustains, showing the precise terminal point of the ice as it meets the water. The map is primarily a study of these dynamic natural boundaries, documenting the public land system across townships T9N through T11N within the Kenai Peninsula borough. Researchers interested in the evolving shoreline of glacial lakes or the specific borders of federal parkland will find the topographic detail of the surrounding peaks particularly useful for understanding the drainage patterns into the lake basin.
