Alt Text Map of Aniakchak National Monument and Preserve in Alaska. Framed by the powder blue waters of Bristol Bay to the northwest and the Pacific Ocean to the southeast, a segment of the Alaska Peninsula spans the map from the southwest to the northeast corners. Extended Description Aniakchak National Preserve is outlined in lime green in the middle of the map. Most of the border is stepped, straight lines, but the southeast corner juts out like talons. Aniachak National Monument is tucked into the left side of the preserve. In different shades of green, sections of Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge are to the northeast and southwest. A network of rivers and creeks cross the landscape like veins, while the Aleutian Range stretches across the southwest coast. Additionally, scores of mountain peaks, waterways, islands, and other sites are labeled across the map. Aniakchak National Preserve Topographical features within the preserve include Meshik Lake in the southeast, Cape Horn in the southwest, and Cape Kumlik poking out along the southwest coast. Four mountain peaks are labeled from west to east as follows: Pinnacle Mountain at 2,618 feet (798 meters), Jaw Mountain at 2,470 feet (753 meters), Elephant Mountain at 2,360 feet (719 meters), and The Twins at 3,268 feet (996 meters). From northeast to southwest along the southern coast are Abmer Bay, Aniakchak Bay, Aniakchak Lagoon, and Kujulik Bay. Aniakchak National Monument Within Aniakchak National Monument, a handful of features surround Surprise Lake in the northern region. In clockwise order are batches of gray dots that create a cup shape to represent the Aniakchak Caldera with the Half Cone, most of which is between nine and one o’clock, just west of Surprise Lake. Two areas, including one at ten and one at seven o’clock, are marked as Lava fields. Continuing clockwise, The Gates are at two o’clock; Black Nose at 3,800 feet (1,158 meters) are at three; Aniakchak Peak at 4,400 feet (1,341 meters) and Vent Mountain at 3,350 feet (1,022 meters) between five and six; and Birthday Pass at 2,050 feet (625 meters) at eight o’clock. Surrounding Areas Four bays line the coast of the peninsula to the east and are labeled from north to south as follows: Yantarni Bay, Amber Bay, Aniakchak Bay with Aniakchak Lagoon, and Kujulik Bay. To the west of the Peninsula, Port Heiden scoops into the coast south of Bristol Bay. In the northwest corner of the upper segment of Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge, the King Salmon River runs southeast to Mother Goose Lake, which connects to the smaller Needle Lake a short jog south. In the waters southeast of the peninsula, islands are labeled from north to south, following the curve of the coast, as follows: Hydra Island, Eagle Island, Garden Island, Kumlik Island, and Sutwick Island. A sliver of Cape Kumliun skims the south central edge of the map, while Christiakof Island sits along the central west coast of the peninsula near the confluence of Bristol Bay and Port Heiden. Other locations outside the preserve include the settlement of Meshik along the central west coast of the peninsula and Port Heiden Airfield a short distance to the northeast. Passing the Cinder (Shagon) River and heading northwest, an airplane icon marks a landing area near the boundary of Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge. Within this segment of the wildlife area, a white peak shows Mount Chiginagak at 6,975 feet (2,126 meters). Legend A scale in the bottom right corner of the map measures distances of 10 kilometers and 10 miles. A legend has a light green rectangle for Aniakchak National Monument and a beige rectangle for Aniakchak National Preserve. Text below reads, “All offshore islands shown on this map are administered by Alaska Maritime NWR.”
