1958 Map of Kenai A-8

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Tuxedni Bay and the surrounding coastal wilderness of the Kenai Peninsula are defined by a landscape of massive ice fields and tidal transitions. In the late 1950s, this area remained largely untouched by development, dominated instead by the Lateral Glacier and Red Glacier which carve through the high terrain. The coastal margin features significant tidal flats and the protected lands of the Chisik Island Tuxedni National Wildlife Refuge. The map provides a look at the natural drainage patterns of the Johnson River and its connection to the Silver Salmon Lakes. Inland, the terrain rises sharply to prominent peaks such as Rusty Mountain and Triangle Peak, while the shoreline is marked by distinctive landmarks like Fossil Pt and Chisik Island standing within the Tuxedni Channel.
