About this map

Katmai National Park encompasses the majority of this coastal landscape on the Alaska Peninsula, where the mountainous terrain meets the Pacific Ocean. This high-elevation topography is defined by prominent peaks like Mt Pedmar, which stands as a significant landmark in the southwestern portion of the map. The drainage patterns in this protected wilderness are characterized by short, steep runs from the summits down to the tidal waters of Dakavak Bay.

Dakavak Lake sits in a high basin in the northeast, feeding the coastal ecosystem below. This 2019 survey documents a pristine maritime environment where geological features remain the primary focus, illustrating the intricate shoreline and steep bathymetry of the bay. The lack of human infrastructure highlights the region's status as a managed wilderness area, preserving the natural interface between the volcanic mountains and the sea.
