1952 Map of Kenai A-2

About this map

Kenai National Moose Range dominates this mid-century survey of the Kenai Peninsula, showcasing a wilderness landscape largely defined by glacial activity and remote outposts. The southeastern portion of the map is anchored by the massive Tustumena Glacier, which feeds into the eastern reaches of Tustumena Lake. Several remote Cabins are positioned along the shoreline and interior valleys, suggesting the presence of seasonal trappers, hunters, or early forest service stations. A dense network of waterways, including the Funny River, Bear Creek, and Indian Creek, drain the high country toward the lake. The terrain is marked by significant elevations like Vabm 2823 Glacier, illustrating the transition from ice fields to the wooded lowlands of the Moose Range. This map captures the region in its raw, undeveloped state shortly after the end of the second World War.
