1958 Map of Kenai

On the mainland, the Sterling Highway provides the primary artery connecting the communities of Kenai, Soldotna, and Ninilchik. To the east, the landscape transitions into the protected wilderness of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, where the Kenai River flows between Skilak Lake and the inlet. The map also captures the vast scale of the Harding Icefield and the Tustumena Glacier feeding into the massive Tustumena Lake, illustrating the intersection of Alaska's resource economy and its preserved natural systems.
