1952 Map of Kenai D-4

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Cook Inlet dominates this mid-century hydrographic and topographic study, revealing the treacherous underwater geography of the Middle Ground Shoal. Along the southern shoreline, the boundary of the Kenai National Moose Range is established, protecting the wilderness just inland from the coastal bluffs. The map provides a detailed look at the maritime hazards and coastal features of the Kenai Peninsula before the era of intensive industrial development. Sounding data throughout the inlet clarifies the deep-water channels, while shore-side landmarks like Boulder Point and Jumbo Rock served as vital visual aids for coastal navigation. Scattered Cabins near Nikishka Bay represent the sparse human footprint in this remote region during the early 1950s.
