Turnagain Arm dominates the center of this mid-1980s survey, illustrating the narrow corridor where human infrastructure meets the coastal wilderness of the Kenai Peninsula. The settlements of Indian and Bird are positioned along the northern shore, where the RR Br and local roads navigate the tight margins between the water and the rising peaks of Chugach State Park. South across the arm, the landscape shifts into the protected expanse of Chugach National Forest, defined by a series of drainage systems including Bear Creek, Sunset Creek, and Sunrise Creek. The map records a specific era of transit and land management, marked by the National Forest Boundary and the prominent landmark of Windy Point, which serves as a navigational reference along the coastal bend.
