2018 Map of Lake Clark C-5 SW

About this map

The Chilikadrotna River flows westward through the center of this remote Alaskan terrain, where the landscape is defined by its pristine waterways and elevation changes. In the northern reaches of the quadrangle, the headwaters of Ptarmigan Cr and Big Bonanza Cr descend through high-altitude basins, following the natural drainage patterns of the Lake and Peninsula Borough. This 2018 survey reveals a wild landscape devoid of modern settlements or road infrastructure, showing only the fundamental topography and the complex hydrography that dictates the character of the region. The map provides a precise record of the river's winding path and the surrounding mountainous landforms, which remain largely untouched by human development in the early 21st century.
