2017 Map of Kenai A-2 SW

About this map

Tustumena Lake dominates the northwestern portion of this 2017 survey, where glacial waters meet the steep, carved terrain of the Kenai Peninsula. The landscape is defined by the massive Tustumena Glacier in the southeast, whose presence dictates the drainage patterns of the surrounding highlands. This glacial influence is evident in the network of tributary waters, including Indian Cr to the north and the converging flows of Crystal Cr and Clear Cr in the southern valleys. The irregular shoreline of Devils Bay provides a protected indentation on the lake's southern edge, illustrating the complex intersection of ice-sculpted land and freshwater. This document records a largely wild, unpopulated environment during the early 21st century, focusing on the hydraulic and geological relationship between the ice fields and the peninsula's largest lake.
