I noticed a few Russian looking placenames - are these the original names that nobody bothered changing? Nikiski is on a dead end road north of Kenai, so that's the city we're most associated with. Anchorage is about 50 miles away by air, but it's about 180 miles by road. The map shows the route through the mountains and around Turnagain Arm. Yes, this once was Russian and many of the names have stuck. There are even some Russian villages populated by Czarists who left Russia because of the Bolsheviks; Nikolaevsk is one that's on the map.
