2019 Map of Mount Katmai A-5 SW

About this map

Katmai National Park and the Becharof National Wildlife Refuge meet in this wilderness region of the Alaska Peninsula, where the landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Kejulik Mountains. The terrain transitions from the steep slopes of the mountains in the south toward the drainage basins of the north, centered around the winding course of Takayofo Creek and its smaller tributary Takayofo Cr. This 2019 survey illustrates a rugged corridor of protected federal land before any major modern development, focusing instead on the natural topography and the strategic crossing at Kejulik Pass. Researchers can trace the hydrography and elevation contours that dictate movement through this remote part of the Lake and Peninsula Borough, providing a clear record of the ecological boundaries between these two major conservation areas.
