About this map

Chickaloon Bay and the silty reaches of Turnagain Arm define the northern limits of this Kenai Peninsula landscape, where the tides of the Cook Inlet meet the mouth of Resurrection Creek. The settlement of Hope sits at the edge of this drainage, serving as a focal point for the region's mining and maritime activity. Upstream, the terrain reveals a legacy of resource extraction with the Robinson-Bowman Mine and Pearson Mine situated along the steep gulches feeding into the main valley.

The interior is largely defined by the vast Kenai National Wildlife Refuge and Chugach National Forest, crossed by a Winter Trail and a Pipeline. Sparse infrastructure, such as a Gaging Sta and a Landing Strip, highlights the remote nature of the area. Significant water bodies like Big Indian Creek and Little Indian Creek carve through the high peaks, while remote outposts like a Shelter Cabin and another Cabin provide isolated points of refuge along the southern trails.
