1952 Map of Kenai D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Kenai National Moose Range dominates this landscape on the southern shores of Turnagain Arm, revealing a complex network of wetlands and glacial drainage before mid-century development. The area is defined by the massive tidal flats of Chickaloon Bay, where extensive areas of Mud are exposed at low tide. This 1952 topographic study, compiled from earlier aerial photography and hydrographic charts, shows the primitive infrastructure of the era, marked by isolated cabins and a few backcountry routes such as a Ski Mobile path and a Trail. Notable inland water features include the meandering Chickaloon River, Bedlam Creek, and Pincher Creek, which drain toward the bay. Near the southeastern boundary with the Chugach National Forest, Trapper Joe Lake serves as a distinct landmark for those tracking early twentieth-century land use and habitation in this part of the Kenai Peninsula.
