1958 Map of Kenai

Across the inlet, the landscape shifts to the dramatic peaks of the Aleutian Range, dominated by the massive Redoubt Volcano. The map highlights the vast protected lands of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge and the glacial expanses of the Harding Icefield, showcasing the contrast between the industrial activity in the Gompertz Channel and the wilderness of the Kenai Mountains. Local landmarks like Trapper Joe and several remote landing strips offer clues to the bush-pilot culture and pioneer settlement patterns of the era.
