2018 Map of Lake Clark C-5 NW

About this map

Bonanza Cr and its numerous tributaries dominate this drainage-focused survey within the Lake and Peninsula Borough. The landscape is defined by high-elevation watershed divides and the complex network of headwaters including Little Bonanza Cr and Big Bonanza Cr. This area shows a pattern of glacial or fluvial erosion where streams like Caribou Cr and Victoria Cr have carved distinct paths through the high country. The absence of roads or established settlements emphasizes the wilderness character of these townships, which were mapped using data from the National Hydrography Dataset and National Elevation Dataset. Smaller watercourses like Cota Cr, Tom Cr, and Symmetra Cr further illustrate the intricate hydrological system that feeds into the larger regional basins of south-central Alaska.
