1951 Map of Seldovia D-4

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

The Caribou Hills dominate this portion of the Kenai Peninsula, where high elevations and multiple drainage basins define the mid-century landscape. Steep terrain rises to landmarks like Ninilchik Dome and Bald Mtn, providing a dramatic backdrop to the hydrological network below. The topography shows the complex headwaters of Deep Creek and its South Fork, which carve deep channels through the hills before descending toward the coast. To the south, the Anchor River and its various tributaries, including Falls Creek, create a wide valley system that transitions into the coastal flats near Kachemak Bay. The map reveals a land before significant modern development, where the environment is characterized by isolated water bodies like Eagle Lake and numerous seasonal streams including Eastland Creek and Cottonwood Cr. This 1951 edition captures the area's natural state just as aerial photogrammetric mapping began to provide precise details of the Alaskan interior's intricate drainage patterns and ridge lines.
