About this map

Fire Island sits at the strategic convergence of the Knik Arm and Turnagain Arm, serving as a navigational sentinel in the upper Cook Inlet. This 1952 survey details the island's topographic character, featuring the Moose Range and critical navigational aids like Race Point Light and Fire Island Light. Along the western shoreline, a Landing Strip and Gravel Pit indicate the mid-century infrastructure supporting this isolated landscape.

On the mainland to the east, the Point Campbell Military Reservation and the Point Campbell ACS Station overlook the mudflats, marking the Cold War era military footprint near Pt Woronzof. To the south, the boundary of the Kenai National Moose Range begins at Pt Possession, where the land rises toward Grand View. The map captures a shifting coastal environment where massive tidal flats like the Susitna Flats meet the deep-water channels required for reaching the growing maritime hubs of the region.
