2017 Map of Kenai D-1 NE

About this map

Chickaloon Bay dominates the central landscape of this Kenai Peninsula region, where the tidal waters of the Pacific Ocean reach deep into the Alaskan coastline. This 2017 survey captures the dynamic transition between marine and terrestrial environments, particularly where the Chickaloon River meets the bay. To the north, the waters of Turnagain Arm shape the shoreline, illustrating the complex geography of the Cook Inlet area. The map primarily documents a natural wilderness within the Kenai Peninsula Borough, defined by its intricate hydrography and coastal drainage patterns rather than human infrastructure. Researchers can trace the path of the river as it winds through the southern reaches, providing a clear record of the area's shoreline and water levels as they stood in the early 21st century.
