1949 Map of Seldovia D-4

About this map

Deep Creek and its many tributaries, including the South Fork Deep Creek and Cytex Creek, dominate this interior portion of the Kenai Peninsula. The landscape is defined by the transition from the high, rolling elevations of the Caribou Hills and prominent peaks like Ninilchik Dome toward the coastal influence of Kachemak Bay in the southeast. In the southern half of the quadrangle, the Anchor River carves a significant corridor through the terrain, joined by smaller drainages such as Stariski Creek and Beaver Cr. This 1949 topography captures a wilderness landscape largely before modern development, showing the complex drainage patterns that shaped early access to the peninsula's interior. High points like Bald Mtn provide a vantage over the surrounding river valleys and the distant waters of the bay, marking the primary landmarks for those navigating the roadless terrain of the mid-century Alaska Territory.
