1951 Map of Seward B-8

About this map

Cooper Landing serves as the focal point of this Kenai Peninsula study, marking a period of established wilderness access along the Kenai River. The map illustrates a localized economy of early tourism and resource management, evidenced by family-named sites like Hentons Lodge, Gwins Lodge, and Nixons Ranch. The transportation network is defined by the Sterling Highway and a series of rugged paths including the Russian River Trail and Stetson Creek Trail, which connect remote cabins to the primary river artery. The inclusion of the Bohan Cabin Seaplane Base at Kenai Lake highlights the era's reliance on air travel for reaching secluded outposts like Snug Harbor. Between the Chugach Mountains and the Kenai National Moose Range, the landscape remains largely defined by its natural hydrology, from the glacial waters of Cooper Lake to the headwaters of the Resurrection River.
