#### Abstract

The Kenai Lowland is part of the Cook Inlet Lowland physiographic subprovince 
that borders Cook Inlet, a major marine reentrant along the Pacific Ocean 
coastline of south-central Alaska. The Cook Inlet Lowland occupies a structural 
trough underlain by rocks of Tertiary age and mantled by Quaternary deposits of 
varying thicknesses. The bordering high alpine mountains—the Aleutian and Alaska 
Ranges to the northwest and north and the Talkeetna, Chugach, and Kenai 
Mountains to the northeast and southeast—are underlain by rocks of Mesozoic and 
older ages.
