1952 Map of Kenai A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Kenai National Moose Range occupies a significant portion of this terrain, showcasing a landscape dominated by massive glacial systems in the early 1950s. The southeastern portion of the map is defined by the expansive Harding Ice Field, which feeds several major frozen tributaries including Skilak Glacier, Killey Glacier, and Indian Glacier. These glaciers are meticulously mapped with blue contour lines and specific notations for numerous crevasses, indicating the dynamic and hazardous nature of the ice at mid-century. Drainage from these heights forms the Killey River and Indian Creek, while isolated water bodies like Iceberg Lake are captured at the edges of the retreating ice. This survey reflects the remote character of the Kenai Peninsula before modern infrastructure, focusing entirely on the natural hydrology and topographical elevations that define this subarctic wilderness.
