2024 Map of Kenai A-3 SE

About this map

Kenai National Wildlife Refuge encompasses the majority of this landscape, showcasing a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies characteristic of the Kenai Peninsula. The map details the transition from the protected marshes of the Kenai Wilderness (Andrew Simons Unit) to the western shore of Tustumena Lake. This environment is defined by its drainages, where Fox Creek and Nikolai Creek navigate through the low-lying terrain, creating a habitat that remains largely undeveloped and preserved. The inclusion of the Andrew Simons Unit highlights a specific focus on wilderness management within the larger refuge system. Researchers can examine the precise hydrography of this region, which remains a critical component of the peninsula's ecosystem.
