2019 Map of Mount Katmai C-5 NW

About this map

Katmai National Park preserves a vast wilderness landscape defined by significant water bodies and intricate topography. This 2019 survey captures the narrow land bridge and varied elevations separating Lake Coville in the north from the expansive Naknek Lake to the south. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Bay of Islands, where the shoreline of Naknek Lake breaks into a complex network of small landmasses and inlets. The terrain between these lakes rises through a series of ridges and valleys, illustrating the dramatic geological transitions of the Alaska Peninsula. The presence of these major glacial lakes suggests the historic and ecological importance of the region for salmon migration and local wildlife habitats within the protected park boundaries.
