2019 Map of Mount Katmai C-5 SE

About this map

Katmai National Park encompasses the entirety of this Alaskan landscape, where the massive expanse of Naknek Lake dominates the central and northern terrain. The sheet illustrates the dramatic elevation of Mt La Gorce, a prominent peak that rises steeply from the lake’s northern shoreline. To the east, the convergence of major glacial waterways is visible, with the Savonoski River and the Ukak River flowing into the lake's eastern reaches. This 2019 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a technical look at the hydrology of the Lake and Peninsula Borough, mapping the intricate transition where river silt meets the deep waters of the lake basin. The lack of roads or settlements underscores the wilderness character of the region, focusing instead on the natural topography and the legal boundaries of the public land survey system.
