1997 Map of Seward C-6

About this map

The Kenai Mountains dominate this landscape, where high-altitude ice fields feed a network of glaciers including the Spencer Glacier and Bartlett Glacier. This late-1990s revision by the USDA Forest Service reveals the sparse human footprint within the Chugach National Forest, primarily clustered along the corridor formed by the Placer River and Trail Creek. Evidence of transportation and small-scale operations are visible at Grandview and the Tunnel railroad site, while localized activity is noted at the Pit near Hunter. The terrain is punctuated by significant summits like Tincan Peak and Anderson Peak, reflecting the area's role as a transition point between the Municipality of Anchorage and the Kenai Peninsula Borough. These labels capture a wilderness in the midst of shifting ice and seasonal recreation, exemplified by the curious naming of the Snoring Inn.
