1986 Map of Kenai D-2 NW

About this map

The Kenai National Wildlife Refuge dominates the landscape of this 1980s survey, illustrating a coastal wilderness defined by a complex network of small lakes and drainage systems. Along the northwestern shoreline, Moose Point juts into the waters of Cook Inlet, marked by numerous offshore Rocks. The interior terrain is characterized by meandering waterways such as Seven Egg Creek and Otter Creek, which thread through low-lying marshlands and thickets. A prominent industrial feature, the Pipeline, cuts through the western portion of the quadrangle, signaling the region's intersection of natural preservation and energy infrastructure. Significant water bodies like Bill Besser Lake and Hook Lake provide clear landmarks for researchers tracing the hydrological patterns of the peninsula before more recent environmental changes.
