2013 Map of Tyonek B-5 SW

About this map

Capps Glacier dominates the upper reaches of this Kenai Peninsula landscape, serving as the glacial source for a complex network of alpine waterways. The drainage pattern is defined by the Chichantna River and several branches of Capps Creek, including N Capps Cr and W Capps Cr. This 2013 survey illustrates a wilderness area devoid of permanent human settlements or roads, focusing instead on the high-elevation topography and hydrologic systems of the Alaska interior. The southern portion of the map transitions into the Chuitna River basin, with smaller tributaries like Nikolai Cr and Wolverine Fork carving through the steep terrain. For researchers and geologists, the map provides a precise record of glacial margins and river courses at the beginning of the 21st century.
