About this map

Chugach National Forest encompasses this coastal Alaskan landscape, where massive ice fields meet the inlets of Prince William Sound. The 2013 survey reveals the dramatic topography of the Dora Keen Range and Mount Castner, showing the intricate boundaries between glacial ice and open water. Massive flows from Yale Glacier, Dartmouth Glacier, Ranney Glacier, and the smaller Baby Glacier dominate the terrain, feeding into the deep waters of Harvard Arm and Yale Arm. At the southern edge of the sheet, the Coghill River drains toward Unakwik Inlet, marking a transition from the high peaks to the sea. This record serves as a precise baseline for the coastal ice margins and glacial extents in the early 21st century, illustrating the raw geography of the Unorganized Borough before shifting environmental patterns further alter these frozen landmarks.
