2024 Map of Seward D-8 NW

About this map

Chickaloon Bay and the coastal edges of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge define this coastal landscape on the Kenai Peninsula. The map highlights the drainage patterns of the western Kenai mountains, where Big Indian Creek, Little Indian Creek, and Taylor Creek flow toward the mudflats and waters of the bay. The prominent landmark of Burnt Island sits just offshore, marking the transition from the steep, contoured slopes of the interior to the tidal flats. This 2024 survey captures the untouched character of the refuge, detailing the elevation changes and the specific course of Burnt Island Creek through the protected wilderness. It is an essential document for understanding the modern hydrology and topographical boundaries within this preserved Alaskan coastal ecosystem.
