2017 Map of Kenai B-2 NE

About this map

The Kenai River corridor dominates this 2017 survey, flowing through a landscape defined by an extensive network of glacial lakes and wetlands on the Kenai Peninsula. Access to this territory is primarily focused along Skilak Lake Road in the northern sections, while much of the southern area remains an intricate maze of water bodies including Blizzard Lake, Marsh Lake, and Swan Lake. The survey detail highlights several notable islands, most prominently the aptly named Frying Pan Island and Caribou Island, which sit within the larger river expansion. Smaller tributary systems such as Olson Cr and King County Cr drain the surrounding marshlands, connecting a series of smaller named basins like Fire Lake and Kaknu Lake. This map captures the modern hydrologic character of the peninsula, showing the township and range lines that divide this largely roadless wilderness.
