2024 Map of Kenai D-1 NE

About this map

Turnagain Arm defines the northern edge of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the waters of Chickaloon Bay meet the sprawling mudflats and tidal wetlands of the southern shore. This transition from the maritime environment of the Cook Inlet region into the protected interior of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge showcases a wilderness shaped by significant hydrological systems. The Chickaloon River meanders through the eastern section of the map, while Pincher Creek drains the southwestern terrain. The topography here is relatively flat near the coast, characterized by complex drainage patterns and marshland that provide critical habitat within the refuge boundaries. The map reflects the enduring natural character of the Kenai Peninsula, where the landscape is dominated by the rhythm of the tides and the flow of glacial-fed river systems.
