Named for Mount Katmai. It was established September 24, 1918, and enlarged in 1931. In 1942 the islands off the coast were added and the monument now offers more than 4,200 sq. mi. of ocean bays, fiords and lagoons, backed by a range of glacier covered peaks and volcanic crater lakes, behind which lies an interior wilderness of forests and great lake chains.
