2019 Map of Naknek B-5 SE

About this map

Wetlands and intricate water systems dominate this landscape in the Lake and Peninsula Borough. The winding course of Big Creek (also labeled Big Cr) meanders through the central terrain, while Bishop Cr flows through the southern portion of the sheet. This 2019 survey illustrates the dense concentration of unnamed ponds and glacial lakes that characterize this remote Alaskan environment, which remains largely untouched by roads or permanent structures. The detailed hydrography provided by the National Hydrography Dataset reveals a complex network of drainage and low-lying basins that define the local geography. These patterns of water and land provide a technical look at the drainage systems essential for environmental researchers and those studying the interior hydrology of southwest Alaska.
