1987 Map of Seldovia D-4 SE

About this map

The Anchor River flows across this Kenai Peninsula landscape as it appeared in the late 1980s, marking a transition from the elevated northern terrain down to the shores of Kachemak Bay. The map captures a largely wild coastal environment where human presence is defined by resource extraction and seasonal access, notably at the Gravel Pit near Cottonwood Creek and the long Winter Trail cutting through the northern sections. Numerous small water bodies, including Eagle Lake, Packwood Lake, and Snowshoe Lake, dot the area between the drainage basins of Swift Creek and Falls Creek. The network of coastal streams like Mc Neil Creek, Beaver Creek, and Eastland Creek illustrates the complex hydrology of the region as it empties into the bay, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns before modern development intensified in the Seldovia area.
