1952 Map of Kenai C-1

About this map

The Kenai National Moose Range dominates this mid-century topography, showing the wilderness transition where the Chugach National Forest boundary meets the interior wetlands of the Kenai Peninsula. The Chickaloon River and Mystery Creek wind through a landscape defined by glacial lakes and muskeg, providing a clear record of the area's hydrology before later development. Human presence is sparse, marked only by an isolated Cabin in the north and primitive transit routes. Early backcountry access is documented through the Seven Lakes Trail and a Ski-Mobile Trail near the southern shore of Jean Lake. Rising above the river valleys, Round Mountain serves as a prominent landmark in the southeastern corner, anchoring a region of sharp relief and complex drainage systems including Thurman Creek and Dike Creek.
