About this map

The Kenai National Wildlife Refuge and the Kenai Wilderness dominate this northern portion of the Kenai Peninsula, where the land meets the tidal flats of Chickaloon Bay. This 1986 survey depicts a complex lacustrine environment, defined by a dense network of water bodies such as Dipper Lake, Tangerra Lake, and Two Island Lake. The terrain is characterized by intricate elevation contours that reveal a landscape heavily shaped by its glacial past.

Water flows through drainage systems like Bedlam Creek and Pincher Creek, connecting many of the smaller basins like Warbler Lake and Mull Lake. The absence of roads or established trails on this sheet emphasizes the primitive nature of the wilderness area. Researchers will find a pristine representation of the peninsula's coastal and interior hydrology before modern development, including smaller features like Moon Lake and Aspen Lake.
