1951 Map of Kenai D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Cook Inlet defines the northern edge of this landscape, where Tidal Flats and the prominent Moose Point mark a transition from the sea to the interior. Much of the terrain falls within the Kenai National Moose Range, an area characterized by a dense network of water bodies such as Kuguyuk Lake, Vogel Lake, and Kenaitze Lake. This mid-century survey reveals a largely roadless territory, where travel and habitation were concentrated around isolated structures like Vogel Cabin and a lone Landing Strip near the coast. The drainage pattern of the Swanson River and smaller streams like Miller Creek and Seven Creek illustrates the complex hydrology of the peninsula. Local history is reflected in family-named landmarks and traditional place names including Birch Hill and Mc Lain Lake, documenting the era before modern development altered this portion of the Kenai Peninsula.
