2018 Map of Lake Clark C-4 NE

About this map

The Lake Clark National Preserve dominates this wild Alaskan landscape, protecting a vast watershed where the Chilikadrotna River and Mulchatna River carve through the glacial terrain. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by its complex hydrology, with hundreds of unnamed alpine ponds and wetlands surrounding Snipe Lake in the southwest corner. The map illustrates the transition from high-elevation ridgelines in the north to the sprawling river valleys below, showing the intricate drainage patterns that characterize the Lake and Peninsula Borough wilderness. Because this area remains largely untouched by permanent settlement or infrastructure, the map serves as a primary record of the natural topography and protected federal lands within the preserve's boundaries.
