2024 Map of Kenai D-1 NW

About this map

The Kenai Wilderness (Dave Spencer Unit) and the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge dominate this part of the Kenai Peninsula, where a dense network of kettle lakes and streams defines the interior geography. Named water bodies like Dipper Lake, Tangerra Lake, and Bedlam Lake are scattered across a landscape shaped by glacial retreat. The lack of roads or permanent settlements in this 2024 survey emphasizes the area's role as a protected habitat, preserved for wildlife and low-impact backcountry travel. Drainage patterns are complex, with Bedlam Creek and Pincher Creek threading through marshy lowlands and smaller ponds such as Warbler Lake and Two Island Lake. The map provides a contemporary view of the region's hydrography, essential for navigators and conservationists tracking the subtle changes in this roadless wilderness.
