2017 Map of Kenai D-7 SE

About this map

Lake Clark National Park encompasses a significant portion of this wilderness landscape, where the hydrographic network of the Big River dominates the terrain. The map details the complex drainage of the North Fork Big River and the South Fork Big River, which converge and feed into the expansive Big River Lakes. This 2017 survey illustrates a largely roadless area characterized by significant wetland systems and the high elevation of Black Peak, providing a clear record of the glacial and alluvial patterns within the Kenai Peninsula Borough. The transition from high alpine terrain to the braided river channels and scattered lakes reflects the dynamic natural environment of the western Cook Inlet region, where the lack of established settlements emphasizes the area's role as a protected national preserve.
