About this map

Cook Inlet defines the western margin of this territory, where the Sterling Highway traces the coastline past the Clam Gulch Store. This mid-century survey captures a landscape dominated by the drainage networks of the Ninilchik River, Crooked Creek, and the Kasilof River, which flows out of Tustumena Lake at the northeastern corner. Much of the eastern portion is set aside as the Kenai National Moose Range, characterized by dense topographic contours that rise away from the coastal flats.

Infrastructure is sparse, concentrated primarily along the shoreline where small operations like a Gravel Pit and localized Falls are noted. The inclusion of the Seward Base Line serves as a critical surveying landmark for the region's early development. Researchers can trace the winding paths of Clam Creek, Corea Creek, and the North Fork Deep Creek as they move through the interior toward the inlet.
