1987 Map of Seldovia C-5 NW

About this map

Anchor River winds through the Kenai Peninsula landscape toward its mouth at Kachemak Bay in this 1980s-era topographic study. The coastal terrain is defined by the sharp intersection of the peninsula with Cook Inlet, where drainage features like Troublesome Creek and Travers Creek cut toward the shoreline. Inland, the Old Sterling Highway follows the contours of the land, providing access to the Anchor River Campground and various Gravel Pit operations that suggest local infrastructure development. To the south, the coastal bluffs drop away at Diamond Gulch, while smaller water bodies like Lilly Lake dot the marshy lowlands, reflecting the characteristic hydrology of the region before further modern expansion. This map captures the intersection of industrial utility and wilderness recreation along the western edge of the borough.
