About this map

The Kenai Mountains dominate this landscape within the Chugach National Forest and Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. Based on 1950 topography with mid-1990s revisions, the map illustrates a network of backcountry routes and remote outposts managed by the Forest Service. The Resurrection Pass National Recreation Trail serves as a primary artery through the high country, connecting several dispersed shelters including Fox Creek Cabin (FS) and Devils Pass Cabin (FS).

A distinct transition occurs in the southern portion of the sheet near the Sterling Highway, where the wilderness gives way to infrastructure like a substation and dam. Water bodies such as Swan Lake and Juneau Lake are central features, punctuated by cabins like West Swan Lake Cabin (FS) and Romig Cabin (FS). This documentation of the area reveals how the land was managed for recreation and resource protection at the end of the twentieth century.
