1986 Map of Kenai B-4 SE

About this map

The Kasilof River winds through this 1986 survey of the Kenai Peninsula, carving a path through wetlands and dense woodlands as it flows toward Cook Inlet. The settlement of Kasilof and the nearby community of Cohoe serve as the primary human anchors on the western edge of the sheet, while the eastern portion is dominated by the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. This wilderness interface is defined by the river’s complex hydraulics, including Moosehead Rapids, Silver Salmon Rapids, and the sharp turn at Hongkong Bend. Numerous water bodies like Johnson Lake and Pollard Lake dot the landscape, indicating a high water table and a terrain shaped by glacial recession. To the south, the map reaches the northern shores of Tustumena Lake, revealing a remote Alaskan environment where only a Winter Trail and scattered landing strips provide access far beyond the primary roads.
