2019 Map of Lake Clark C-6 NW

About this map

The Mulchatna River meanders across this subarctic landscape in the Lake and Peninsula Borough, defining the drainage patterns of a region shaped by glacial activity and seasonal melt. The terrain is a complex network of waterways, where the river meets significant tributaries including Bonanza Cr and Summit Cr. In the southern reaches of the quadrangle, Big Bonanza Cr cuts through the shifting elevations, illustrating the hydrological connectivity of this interior Alaskan wilderness. This survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the area during a period of modern geospatial monitoring, emphasizing the natural boundaries of the Public Land Survey System townships like t7n r34w and t8n r33w. The map serves as a precise record of watercourses and elevation contours in a territory where the environment remains the primary architect of the land.
