1986 Map of Kenai C-2 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Swanson River meanders through the northwest corner of this sub-arctic landscape, defining a complex hydrologic network protected within the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. This mid-1980s provisional survey illustrates a dense concentration of glacially formed kettle lakes and interconnected waterways, including the distinctively named Sucker Lake, Canoe Lake, and Ice Lake. The southern half of the map is designated as the Kenai Wilderness, where the lack of roads emphasizes the region's reliance on river corridors and trails for movement. Local geographic nomenclature, such as Doghouse Lake and Skookum Lake, reflects the cultural layers of the Kenai Peninsula. This document preserves the intricate shoreline details of smaller bodies of water like Big Merganser Lake and Duckbill Lake before contemporary changes in the water table altered these fragile ecosystems.
