About this map

Point Possession marks a prominent geographic bend on the northern edge of the Kenai Peninsula, overlooking the expansive waters of Cook Inlet. This mid-1980s provisional survey illustrates a landscape primarily defined by protected conservation areas, with much of the interior territory falling within the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge and the strictly managed Kenai Wilderness.

A single Pipeline cutting through the terrain provides a subtle indicator of the region's industrial infrastructure amidst the wilderness. The low-lying coastal plain is punctuated by small bodies of water including Cook Lake, Diamond Lake, and Sandpipe Lake, while Miller Creek drains toward the shoreline. This map captures the intersection of federal land management and the coastal geography of the Cook Inlet region just before the close of the 20th century.
