2017 Map of Kenai D-1 NW

About this map

Chickaloon Bay and the tidal reaches of the Pacific Ocean dominate the eastern portion of this Kenai Peninsula landscape, where the sea meets a complex network of coastal wetlands. The terrain is characterized by a high density of small water bodies, suggesting a low-lying, saturated environment typical of the Alaskan coast. This hydrological pattern is defined by interconnected systems such as Bedlam Cr, which drains from Bedlam Lake, and Pincher Cr, flowing toward the coast. Farther inland, larger named basins like Dipper Lake, Tangerra Lake, and Lower Tangerra Lake dot the western interior. The absence of roads or structures in this area highlights its character as a preserved wilderness near the turn of the twenty-first century, where natural features like Mull Lake and Two Island Lake remain the primary points of orientation for researchers and outdoorsmen.
