2017 Map of Seldovia D-3 NE

About this map

The Fox River system dominates this section of the Kenai Peninsula, carving a wide valley through the glaciated terrain of south-central Alaska. This 2017 study illustrates the complex hydrology of the river’s lower reaches, where the main channel is joined by Nikolai Cr and feeds into the intricate braided waterways of Clearwater Slough. The topography reveals a striking contrast between the low-lying river delta and the surrounding elevations, which rise sharply as one moves away from the valley floor. Researchers and cartography enthusiasts can observe the detailed wetland patterns and tidal influences that characterize this region's transition from riverine to coastal environments. The absence of modern roads or settlements in this particular quadrangle highlights the wilderness character of the area, defined almost entirely by its water systems and township-range divisions such as t2s r9w and t3s r9w.
