Alt Text Map of Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska. Outlined in bright green, the area stretches along the northeastern edge of the Alaska Peninsula, with the park in sage green and the preserve covering a small pocket to the northwest in pale green. Extended Description Scores of waterways, mountain peaks, natural features, and other sites populate the map. This description will navigate through the park and preserve first, then move on to the surrounding area and inset maps, and end with a transcription of the legend. Park Seven lakes stretch like fingers across the middle of the left half of the park. From north to south, these are Nonvianuk Lake, Lake Coville, Lake Grosvenor, Naknek Lake, Iliuk Arm, Lake Brooks, and North Arm. At the center of these on Lake Brooks is Brooks Camp, which has a ranger station, campground, lodge, and food service. A note there reads “See Detail Map Below.” A Visitor Center and Cultural Site are both nearby. Extending west from the visitor center, a dashed line marks a trail that leads to Dumpling Mountain, which stands at 2,440 feet (744 meters). An unpaved road runs from just south of Brooks Camp to the southeast past Margot Falls to Three Forks Overlook shelter. From here, the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes is shown in clay brown stretching southeast along the Buttress Range. A label near the top reads “Valley area of ash flow from 1912 eruption.” Two outward facing brackets mark Katmai Pass at the southern end of the valley, while text at the opposite end reads, “Valley area of ash flow from 1912 eruption.” To the southwest, the Kejulik Mountains give way to dozens of mountain peaks. These cluster in the valley and continue around Crater Lake and throughout white glacial peaks that stretch to the northeast. Continuing on this trajectory beyond Kaguyak Crater, another glacially capped range is dotted with peaks at the northeast tip of the park. Most of the other labeled sites within the park are around the perimeter. Moving clockwise from noon are Kulik Lodge between Nonvianuk and Kulik lakes; Battle River Wilderness Retreat, which has lodging and is on Battle Lake; Cape Douglas near Sukoi Bay at two o’clock close to where the eastern shoreline begins at the northeast tip of the park. Between this and three o’clock are Swikshak Patrol Cabin, which is intermittently staffed; Hallo Bay Wilderness Camps with lodging; and Katmai Wilderness Lodge. Continuing down the east coast are Amalik Bay Patrol Cabin, which is intermittently staffed; Katmai Village, which has been abandoned; and Cape Kubugakli at six o’clock. The Kejulik Mountains are the main feature between six and nine o’clock, and sites pick back up with Lake Camp, which is west of Brooks Camp and has a boat launch, restrooms, and picnic area, at nine and Royal Wolf Lodge at ten. Between ten and twelve o’clock, the intermittently staffed Nonvianuk Patrol Cabin and Enchanted Lake Lodge are on Nonvianuk Lake. Farther south are Grosvenor Lodge on Lake Grosvenor and Fures Public Use Cabin, which requires a permit, in the east end of the North Arm. South of the cabin and east of Brooks Camp is Savonoski, another abandoned village. Preserve Two sites located in the preserve are shown as Nonvianuk Patrol Cabin with a ranger station at the west end of Nonvianuk Lake and Royal Wolf Lodge slightly further west. The Nonvianuk River extends from the lake, flowing into Alagnak Wild River, which juts out into the surrounding region to the west. Kukaklek Lake spans the preserve in the north, with rivers branching off to the northeast. Surrounding Area To the west, beige land pocked with blue rivers and lakes flanks the park, while the powder-blue waters of Shelikof Strait, Cook Inlet, and Kamishak Bay span the coast to the east. At the northeastern perimeter of the site, tan and beige regions show McNeil River State Game Sanctuary and Kamishak Special Use Area. Shown in beige along the southeastern perimeter, Becharof National Wildlife Refuge and Alaska Peninsula Wildlife Refuge are dominated by Becharof Lake and Upper Ugashik Lake, respectively. Extending from Lake Camp at the western edge of the park, a white line marks an unpaved road that stretches west, with a short spur extending down to Rapids Camp along the Naknek River. The road then merges with a black line shown as the paved Alaska Peninsula Highway where Park Headquarters Visitor Center, located in the community of King Salmon, is called out in kelly green. Continuing to the western terminus of the highway, two yellow dots mark the communities of Naknek and South Naknek, which flank opposite sides of the Naknek River where it meets Kvichak Bay. Inset Maps In the lower right corner of the map is a detail view of Brooks Camp vicinity. The Visitor Center and Brooks Lodge, which has food service, showers, and restrooms, is on the shore of Naknek Lake near the top right corner of the inset map. Other sites in that area include a ranger station, campground, Auditorium, Cultural Site, and a picnic area all connected by trails. A Boardwalk Trail crosses the Brooks River, which curls across the center of the map, and provides access to the North Platform and South Platform and the wildlife viewing they offer. The park road picks up here, at a site labeled “Bus to Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes meets here,” and travels south and then southwest. Brooks Falls Trail has restrooms at its trailhead and then heads west off the park road, leading to Falls Platform and Riffles Platform, which both offer wildlife viewing on the Brooks River. The park road continues southwest and forks. One leg leads “To Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes” off the bottom edge and the other travels west, to a picnic area, restrooms, and Float plane access on Lake Brooks in the bottom left corner. A scale in this inset map measures distances of 400 meters and 400 feet. The other inset map is next to the legend and shows a silhouette of Alaska in black. A green dot and text locate the Katmai National Park and Preserve on a peninsula extending off the southwest corner of the state. Legend The legend in the top left corner reads as follows: Darker green for Katmai National Park, Light green for Katmai National Preserve, Tan for Native villages corporation lands; no entry without owner permission, White solid line encased in black for Unpaved road, and Black dashed line for Hiking trail. All of the symbols listed in the next three columns have the icon in white within a black square except one, which is noted below. The symbols represent Lodge, Food service, Campground, Picnic area, Restrooms, Boat launch, Ranger station, Ranger patrol cabin (intermittently staffed), which has a black icon on a white square, Showers, Wildlife viewing, Bus stop, and Public Use Cabin. A scale in the lower center of the map measures 10 and 20 kilometers and 10 and 20 miles.
