1951 Map of Kenai A-2

About this map

The Kenai National Moose Range dominates this landscape, showing a preserved wilderness on the Kenai Peninsula in the early 1950s. The map is defined by the massive presence of Tustumena Lake, which is fed by the dramatic Tustumena Glacier and Glacier Creek at its southeastern edge. The drainage patterns of the Funny River and Bear Creek illustrate the glacial hydrology of the region, while the Seward Base Line provides a primary surveying reference point across the rugged interior. Small signs of human presence are sparse, indicated only by isolated Cabin and Cabins labels, suggesting seasonal trapping or hunting use in an era before significant road development reached this part of the peninsula. The transition from the alluvial flats of Moose Creek to the high alpine elevations near Indian Creek highlights the varied topography of this protected subarctic environment.
