2017 Map of Kenai D-8 SE

About this map

Lake Clark National Park forms the heart of this high-latitude survey, where massive ice fields and narrow mountain passes dictate the landscape's character. The Aleutian Range dominates the terrain, punctuated by the Lake Clark Pass, which serves as a vital natural corridor between glacial peaks. The movement of ice is a defining feature of the area, with the Tanaina Glacier in the north and the Double Glacier and Aho Glacier in the south continuing to carve the surrounding valleys. Waterways like the North Fork Big River and Tlikakila River drain these icy heights, eventually pooling in alpine basins such as Summit Lake. This map represents a modern snapshot of a wilderness largely untouched by development, focusing instead on the dramatic geological and hydrological processes of the region.
