About this map

Kenai National Wildlife Refuge and the Chugach National Forest meet in this high-elevation wilderness on the Kenai Peninsula. The landscape is defined by its dramatic glacial drainage systems, most notably the south-flowing Chickaloon River and its various tributaries. The central corridor of the map is dominated by American Pass, a significant topographical saddle that separates the drainages of Big Indian Creek to the north from American Creek to the south. This remote territory remains largely untouched by modern infrastructure, preserving the natural hydrological patterns of Abernathy Creek and the surrounding alpine terrain. The map documents the precise administrative boundaries between national forest and wildlife refuge lands, illustrating how these protected areas intersect across the peninsula's mountainous interior.
