1987 Map of Seldovia D-4 SW

About this map

The Anchor River carves a deep path through the southern Kenai Peninsula in this 1980s provisional survey, which highlights the area's transition from high alpine tundra to riparian lowlands. To the north, Stariski Creek drains the upland reaches, while Bald Mountain dominates the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. Human presence is sparse but specific, indicated by a lone Landing Strip in the northeast and a Winter Trail cutting through the western terrain near Beaver Creek. This map is particularly valuable for its depiction of the landscape before significant modern development, showing the original drainage patterns and elevation profiles of the peninsula's interior. The provisional nature of the survey reflects a time when many Alaskian interior regions were being systematically documented from 1980s aerial photography and field checks.
