1983 Map of Seward A-7 NW

About this map

Glacial ice and alpine terrain dominate this 1983 survey of the Kenai Peninsula, where the Resurrection River flows through a deep valley between soaring heights. The map documents a significant conservation boundary, showing the northern reaches of the Kenai Fjords National Monument where it meets the Chugach National Forest. To the southeast, the Seward Corporate Boundary edges into the frame near the base of Mount Benson, marking the interface between the growing municipality and the surrounding wilderness. Notable drainage systems like Paradise Creek and Japanese Creek carve through the landscape, while the jagged Resurrection Peaks overlook several unnamed glaciers. This provisional map captures the region's topography just as these federal land designations were being firmly established in the early 1980s.
