2016 Map of Anchorage A-2 SE

About this map

Prince William Sound defines the western coastline of this glacial landscape, where the tides meet the steep drainage systems of the Chugach National Forest. The map documents a rugged wilderness dominated by the Brilliant Glacier in the north, which feeds into the Miners River system. This river flows south into the calm waters of Miners Lake before emptying into Miners Bay. The complex shoreline includes the deep inlet of Wells Bay, illustrating the dramatic transition between high-elevation ice fields and protected marine environments. With no established roads or settlements shown, the topography emphasizes the area's role as a pristine maritime corridor and a key segment of the Alaskan national forest system during the early 21st century.
