About this map

Kasilof and its surrounding homesteads define this coastal stretch of the Kenai Peninsula in the early 1950s. The settlement pattern follows the Kasilof River and the shoreline of Cook Inlet, where small clusters of Cabins and isolated Cabin labels mark the early residential development of Cohoe and Kalifonsky. Transport in the region relies heavily on the Sterling Highway and the Kalifonsky Beach Road, while the Kasilof Landing Strip provides critical aerial access to this developing frontier.

East of the coast, the landscape transitions into the Kenai National Moose Range, a complex network of wetlands and small lakes. Notable landmarks like Hongkong Bend and Moosehead Rapids appear along the river's winding path toward Tustumena Lake. Small-scale resource extraction is evident near the river through several Gravel Pits and a noted Coal deposit, reflecting the localized industry supporting the growth of these peninsula communities.
