1951 Map of Seward B-8

About this map

Cooper Landing serves as the focal point for this wilderness survey, situated where the Kenai River flows out of the expansive Kenai Lake. The map details a landscape transition during the early 1950s, highlighting a network of small lodges and outposts such as Hentons Lodge, Gwins Lodge, and the Bohan Cabin that supported early tourism and bush travel. The newly established Sterling Highway cuts through the northern corridor, providing modernized access to a region otherwise defined by historic routes like the Resurrection Pass Trail and the Russian River Trail.
