1986 Map of Kenai D-1 SE

About this map

The Chickaloon River meanders through this portion of the Kenai Peninsula, marking a landscape defined by its network of glacial lakes and marshy lowlands. This 1980s provisional survey illustrates the expansive reach of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, with the Kenai Wilderness Boundary bisecting the terrain to separate managed lands from protected wilderness. Named water bodies like Lonesome Lake, Moose Pasture Lake, and Trapper Joe Lake are scattered across the quadrangle, reflecting the local importance of these features for navigation and identification in an area with minimal road development. A solitary Landing Strip in the northeast quadrant suggests the reliance on bush planes for access to this interior region. The map preserves the specific geography of the Scenic Lake area and the intricate hydrology of the Kenai lowlands during the late twentieth century.
