1952 Map of Kenai A-4

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Cook Inlet defines the western edge of this coastal landscape, where the Sterling Highway runs parallel to the shore. This 1952 topographic study captures the early infrastructure of the Kenai Peninsula, anchored by the Clam Gulch Store near the bluffs. Inland, the terrain transitions into the protected wetlands and hills of the Kenai National Moose Range, a massive tract of wilderness bounded by major water systems. The Ninilchik River and its various tributaries, including Clam Creek and Falls Creek, cut across the coastal plain before reaching the inlet. To the northeast, the map details the outlet of Tustumena Lake into the Kasilof River. This record is particularly valuable for its depiction of the Seward Base Line, the fundamental surveying datum that governed the division of land in this part of Alaska during the mid-twentieth century.
