1950 Map of Seldovia D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Kenai National Moose Range dominates this mid-century portrait of the Kenai Peninsula’s glaciated interior. The landscape is defined by the massive slow-moving ice of the Chernof Glacier and Dingelstadt Glacier, which are marked by extensive fields of crevasses as they descend from the high peaks. This 1950 photogrammetric study captures the drainages that feed the region’s complex ecosystem, including Clearwater Slough and the Fox River, which winds through the northwestern forest cover. To the northeast, a portion of Tustumena Lake is visible, serving as a primary hydrological feature for the surrounding wilderness. The absence of roads or established trails on this sheet underscores the isolation of the territory during the early years of Alaskan statehood. Survey markers like VABM Tustumena 3942 provide fixed points in a terrain otherwise characterized by shifting ice and seasonal watercourses like Sheep Creek.
