2018 Map of Lake Clark D-2 NW

About this map

The Alaska Range dominates this landscape, providing the high-elevation backdrop for the headwaters and drainages within the Lake Clark National Preserve. The terrain is defined by extreme relief, where steep glacial valleys channel the Telaquana River as it cuts across the northwest portion of the quadrangle. This 2018 survey captures the intersection of major administrative boundaries, most notably the dividing line of the Bethel Borough Lake and Peninsula Borough. The map illustrates a wilderness area devoid of modern infrastructure, focusing instead on the natural topography and hydrography that dictate movement through this part of the preserve. Land surveyors and wilderness historians can trace the precise township lines, such as t10n r25w, which grid this remote interior region.
