About this map

Moose Pass serves as a primary point of reference in this high-altitude landscape of the Kenai Peninsula. The settlement pattern follows the narrow corridor between the towering peaks of the Chugach National Forest and a series of interconnected water bodies, including Upper Trail Lake and Lower Trail Lake. The presence of a Landing Strip and Radio Tower near Crown Point indicates the importance of communication and aerial access in this isolated environment.

Further south, the community of Lawing sits at the northern tip of Kenai Lake, where the topography transitions from the steep slopes of Andy Simons Mountain to the glacial waters below. The map documents various transit routes, from the established roadway connecting the settlements to a high-elevation Pack Trail winding through the eastern mountains toward Grant Lake. These features together illustrate a wilderness economy shaped by the constraints of the surrounding summits like Madson Mountain and Solars Mountain.
