About this map

Kenai National Moose Range dominates this mid-century survey of the Kenai Peninsula, showcasing a landscape defined by massive ice fields and high-altitude peaks. The northern reach of the Truuli Glacier descends from Truuli Peak, feeding the complex drainage system of Truuli Creek and the southern edge of Tustumena Lake. To the south and west, the ice-carved topography transitions into the braided channels of the Fox River and Clearwater Slough.

The survey captures the rugged hydrology of the region, from the high-elevation High Lake to the silt-laden waters of Glacier Lake. Notable features like the Chernof Glacier and the crevassed surface of Dinglestadt Glacier highlight the active glacial environment. This map preserves the specific administrative and natural boundaries of the era, including the uniquely named Sheep Moose Range Boundary Creek, providing a record of the peninsula before later environmental shifts.
