2018 Map of Lake Clark D-3 NE

About this map

Telaquana Lake dominates the central portion of this 2018 survey, its waters surrounded by the protected wilderness of the Lake Clark National Preserve. The landscape is defined by the transition between the Bethel Borough and the Lake and Peninsula Borough, a boundary line that cuts through the southern mountains. Significant water drainage is visible through the Trail Creek and its tributary, Trail Cr, which carve through the high-elevation terrain to the south. This area remains largely undeveloped, showcasing the natural drainage patterns and topographical character of the Alaskan interior before modern encroachment. The map illustrates a vast network of contours that detail the steep ascent from the lake shores into the surrounding peaks, providing a clear view of the hydrological relationship between the mountains and the lake basin.
