1958 Map of Kenai A-7

About this map

Tuxedni National Wildlife Refuge dominates the coastline of Chisik Island in this mid-century survey of the western shores of Cook Inlet. The map highlights a landscape defined by dramatic tidal shifts and maritime activity, with extensive Tidal Flats bordering the mouth of the Crescent River. On the eastern side of the island, Snug Harbor serves as a sheltered anchorage, supported by a localized Cannery operation that points to the region's historical fishing industry. The topography reveals a transition from these muddy flats and coastal waters to the elevated points of Iliamna Pt and the small outcropping of Duck Island. Away from the industrial site at the harbor, a solitary Cabin represents the sparse human footprint in this corner of the Tuxedni Bay region during the late 1950s.
