Sterling and Naptowne occupy the lower portion of this mid-1980s survey, marking a pocket of development amidst the protected lands of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. The landscape is dominated by the winding course of the Kenai River, which features the notable Naptowne Rapids near the western edge of the settlement area. To the north, the terrain transitions into the Kenai Wilderness, characterized by a dense network of water bodies including Grebe Lake, Beaver Pond Lake, and the meandering Moose River. Infrastructure such as a pipeline, a Pumping Station, and a Landing Strip illustrate the logistical demands of the region's energy and transportation sectors during this era. Scattered Gravel Pits and Drill Holes suggest localized industrial activity within the broader conservation landscape.
