1953 Map of Seward B-7

About this map

Kenai Lake and the Snow River valley anchor this mid-century survey of the Kenai Peninsula, where the Alaska Railroad and the Seward Anchorage Highway parallel the rugged water systems. The landscape is defined by its early industrial and recreational footprint, featuring a notable concentration of mining activity including the Crown Point Mine, Falls Creek Mine, and the Primrose Mine. Local genealogy and land use are preserved through unique markers like the Minnie Andacher Homestead and small settlements such as Muskwa Village and Lawing. The transition from frontier industry to leisure is evident in the presence of the Wolf Trail Lodge and the Divide Ski Area near the southern map edge. Traces of older operations remain, specifically the Solars Sawmill (Abandoned) located north of Grant Lake.
