About this map

Kenai Fjords National Park dominates the western shoreline of this coastal survey, where the Aialik Peninsula reaches into the Pacific Ocean. This maritime landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, featuring numerous secluded inlets such as Coleman Bay, Porcupine Cove, and Agnes Cove. The eastern portion of the map covers the open waters of Resurrection Bay and the passage known as the Harding Gateway, which serves as a primary maritime entrance to the region. To the south, the protected waters of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge encompass Cheval Island and the adjacent Cheval Narrows. This document illustrates the rugged intersection of federally protected wilderness and the deep-water sounds of the Kenai Peninsula, providing a detailed record of coastal features including Three Hole Bay and the aptly named Paradise Cove.
