2023 Map of Anchorage A-1 SW

About this map

Chugach National Forest encompasses the high-altitude terrain of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the Chugach Census Area meets the edge of the sea. The map reveals a dramatic transition from inland mountain basins to the shoreline of Long Bay, reflecting the classic topography of the Prince William Sound region. The elevation contours suggest a wilderness shaped by tectonic and glacial forces, with limited human markers outside of the township and range survey lines such as t12n r12e and t10s r11w. In the northeastern portion of the sheet, Kadin Lake sits within a high mountain bowl, serving as a significant freshwater feature in an otherwise steep and unpopulated area. This 2023 edition provides a baseline for modern geographers and researchers tracking the current boundaries and hydrography of these protected federal lands.
