About this map

Lake Clark National Preserve covers the southern terrain of this quadrangle, where the massive braided channel of the Stony River winds through a broad glacial valley. The landscape is defined by its extreme isolation and the transition from high mountainous ridges to the river's extensive floodplain. In the southern reach of the valley, the Stony Mountain Lodge Airport stands as a rare point of human infrastructure, indicating the area's reliance on bush aviation for access to this interior wilderness. To the north, the drainage of Tired Pup Creek cuts through steep elevation contours, feeding into the larger river system that dominates the regional geography. This survey illustrates the intricate water networks and severe topography of the Bethel Census Area before modern development could alter its fundamental character.
