About this map

Resurrection Pass sits at the heart of this high-elevation wilderness, serving as a critical waypoint for travel through the Kenai Peninsula. The landscape is defined by the sharp divide between the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge to the northwest and the Chugach National Forest which covers the remainder of the quadrangle. This area is characterized by a dense network of glacial-fed streams, including Resurrection Cr and its many tributaries such as Fox Cr and American Cr. The presence of the historic Resurrection Pass Trail and the Summit Creek Trail illustrates the long-standing importance of this corridor for overland movement through the interior peaks. These routes provided essential access through the terrain long before modern infrastructure, following natural contours like those near Big Indian Cr and Aber nathy Cr.
