About this map

Chugach National Forest provides the backdrop for this high-altitude landscape, where the Eagle River and its numerous glacial tributaries carve through the Chugach Mountains. The terrain is defined by its massive ice fields, including Eagle Glacier, Raven Glacier, and Milk Glacier, punctuated by prominent peaks like Raggedtop Mtn and Organ Mtn.

Evidence of early exploration and human presence appears in more sheltered corridors. A Mine and an area of Ruins are situated near the confluence of Raven Creek and Milk Cr, while a site known as The Cache is tucked away to the south. This era reflects a period when access to these remote reaches relied on landmarks like Crow Pass and seasonal routes along California Creek and Raven Creek, long before modern infrastructure reached deep into this part of the Chugach range.
