1951 Map of Kenai D-1

About this map

Chickaloon Bay and the tidal reaches of Turnagain Arm dominate this 1950s view of the northern Kenai Peninsula. The landscape is characterized by extensive wetlands and tidal flats, specifically noted as Mud along the coastline where the waters of the bay meet the land. This survey, compiled from aerial photography and earlier hydrographic charts, reveals a nearly untouched wilderness at the mid-century mark.
