About this map

The glacial landscapes of the southern Kenai Peninsula dominate this mid-century survey, where the Kenai National Moose Range meets the ice-scoured fjords of the Gulf of Alaska. Massive ice flows including the Mc Carty Glacier and Dinglestadt Glacier are documented alongside their associated ice fields and crevasses, illustrating the active geological forces of the Kenai Mountains.

The coastline is defined by deep inlets and intricate waterways such as Paguna Arm, Taroka Arm, and Two Arm Bay. These protected waters are separated by prominent coastal heights like Cloudy Mtn and Black Mtn. To the southwest, the transition from sea to land is marked by Mc Carty Lagoon and Delight Lake, providing a detailed record of the shoreline and maritime features including Midnight Cove and Moonlight Bay before the 1964 earthquake altered the regional topography.
