2018 Map of Lake Clark D-1 SE

About this map

The Aleutian Range dominates this portion of the Lake Clark National Park wilderness, where the landscape is defined by extreme elevation changes and high mountain peaks. This 2018 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a region entirely devoid of modern infrastructure, settlements, or established trails. Instead, the map provides a precise record of the physical geography, showing the intricate contour lines that mark the steep ridges and glacial valleys of the Kenai Peninsula. The absence of human-made landmarks emphasizes the protected, wild status of the park. Researchers and outdoorsmen can use this data to study the complex hydrology and terrain patterns that dictate the movement of water and wildlife through these subarctic summits.
