2019 Map of Naknek D-1 NW

About this map

Pauls Cr meanders across this subarctic landscape within the Lake and Peninsula Borough, defining the primary drainage for the surrounding wetlands and elevations. This 2019 survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, maps a largely uninhabited territory where topographic contours reveal a series of gradual rises and depressions characteristic of the Bristol Bay region. The map captures the boundary between the Lake and Peninsula Borough and its neighbor, serving as a modern record of land divisions in this part of Alaska. While devoid of named settlements or roads, the intricate network of ponds and the course of the creek illustrate the natural water patterns essential for local ecology and potential resource management in the early 21st century.
