About this map

Nikolaevsk, Nahodka, and Kluchevaya anchor the central portion of this 1980s landscape on the Kenai Peninsula. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of the North Fork Anchor River, which winds through the central valley before meeting the main Anchor River in the south. The topography is defined by significant elevations like Epperson Knob, overlooking a network of unimproved roads and the historical Winter Trail that cuts across the northern terrain.

A Gravel Pit near the riverbanks suggests local resource extraction during this era of development. The map detail highlights the transition from the upland ridges to the wet lowlands surrounding Beaver Creek and the Chakok River. This survey, based on 1980 aerial photography and 1984 field checks, captures the rural infrastructure and residential clusters of these unique Kenai communities prior to late-century growth.
