2017 Map of Seldovia D-1 NE

About this map

Glacial movement and conservation boundaries define this high-altitude section of the southern Kenai Peninsula. The landscape is almost entirely divided between two major federal designations: the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge to the northwest and Kenai Fjords National Park across the central and southern portions of the sheet. This 2017 survey documents the massive ice fields and active glaciers that dominate the terrain, including Aialik Glacier in the northeast and Tustumena Glacier near the wildlife refuge boundary. Further south, the presence of Northwestern Glacier and Holgate Glacier indicates the complex glacial system feeding into the fjords. The map provides a precise record of these ice margins at a specific moment in the early 21st century, offering a baseline for studying environmental change and the topographic character of this roadless wilderness.
