About this map

Cook Inlet dominates this coastal survey, where the waters meet the southwestern edge of the Kenai Peninsula. The settlement of Ninilchik sits at the base of the map near the shoreline, positioned just south of the prominent Cape Ninilchik. This area serves as a primary point of access to the marine environment, evidenced by the presence of a Campground and a Radio Tower near the coast.

The landscape is defined by the drainage of Deep Creek, which winds toward the inlet through varied terrain marked by elevation points like bm79.2. A significant portion of the offshore waters is designated within the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge Boundary, reflecting the conservation framework established by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. The map illustrates a transitional zone where human infrastructure and recreational sites interface with the protected maritime wilderness.
