Well Creek Seep Area

diagram The Well Creek/Bowser Creek seeps are associated with Oil Bay on the Iniskin Peninsula on the west side of the Alaska Peninsula at the mouth of Cook Inlet. This is an area of early oil exploration and exploratory wells were drilled in this area - hence the name Well Creek. The seep area is at the base of a ridge by the large meadow shown at the right. The meadow is flooded by a beaver dam. Fish were observed in the creek at the seep area.
