2017 Map of Kenai B-1 SW

About this map

Cottonwood Creek Trail winds through a high-elevation landscape within the Kenai Peninsula, providing a rare marked route through this drainage system. The terrain is defined by the convergence of several significant watercourses, including the south-flowing Cottonwood Creek and the headwaters of Pipe Cr and King County Cr. To the south, the drainage of the Killey River becomes prominent, fed by the wandering course of Benjamin Cr. This 2017 survey illustrates the complex hydrography of the interior peninsula, where steep relief and glacial-fed streams dictate the geography. The absence of modern roads highlights the remote nature of this region, where the historical trail remains a primary point of reference for navigating the high country.
