1986 Map of Kenai C-1 SW

About this map

The Kenai National Wildlife Refuge dominates this landscape, showing a complex network of glacial lakes and northern watercourses in the mid-1980s. A significant portion of the eastern sector is designated as the Kenai Wilderness, marked by a formal Wilderness Boundary that separates the more accessible terrain from the protected backcountry. Large water bodies like Hidden Lake and Upper Jean Lake are prominent features, while smaller, descriptively named lakes such as Picnic Lake, Campsite Lake, and Hikers Lake suggest the area's established role in recreation and outdoor transit. Utility corridors also cross the region, evidenced by a Pipeline and a Trans Line, indicating the intersection of wilderness preservation and energy infrastructure. Low-lying elevations like Hideout Hill rise above the drainage basins of Mystery Creek and Jean Creek, providing a detailed look at the peninsula's hydrography before modern shifts in the subarctic environment.
