1952 Map of Kenai C-1

About this map

The Kenai National Moose Range dominates this mid-century topographic survey, where the rugged topography of the Kenai Peninsula transitions from low-lying wetlands into the steep slopes of the Chugach National Forest. The drainage systems of the Chickaloon River and Mystery Creek are central to this landscape, illustrating the intricate network of glacial runoff and mountain streams that define the region. Evidence of early backcountry access is found in the Seven Lakes Trail and the Ski Mobile Trail, providing a look at how this wilderness was navigated before modern infrastructure reached deep into the interior. A solitary Cabin in the northern reaches and landmarks like Round Mountain serve as rare points of human reference in a terrain characterized by complex contouring and numerous small water bodies like Jean Lake and Hidden L.
