2019 Map of Mount Katmai B-2 NW

About this map

Katmai National Park encompasses this entire terrain, which is defined by high-elevation glacial activity and remote water systems. The eastern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the massive reach of Hook Glacier, while the southern boundary follows the intricate path of the Serpent Tongue Glacier. These massive ice bodies serve as the primary hydrologic drivers for the region, feeding the headwaters of the Rainbow River as it winds through the southwestern corner of the map. The landscape here is captured in its modern state, reflecting contemporary glacial margins and drainage patterns. Because this area is part of a protected national preserve, the map shows a landscape devoid of human infrastructure or settlements, focusing instead on the dramatic natural elevation changes and the specific boundaries of the township and range lines.
