About this map

Tustumena Lake dominates this portion of the Kenai Peninsula, marking a landscape defined by glacial waters and protected wildlife habitats within the Kenai National Moose Range. The topography here reflects the transition from the lake's shoreline to the upland drainages of the Seward Base Line. Settlement is nearly non-existent, indicated only by scattered cabins along the water's edge and near Bear Creek.

A network of interior lakes and streams, including Nikolai Lake, Kolomin Lake, and North Kolomin Lake, suggests a region used primarily for seasonal hunting or trapping rather than permanent agriculture or industry. The presence of Caribou Island and the varied creek systems like Crooked Creek and Nikolai Creek provide essential landmarks for navigating this roadless terrain during the early 1950s.
