About this map

Mt Marcus Baker anchors the eastern edge of this high-altitude landscape, where massive glaciers and severe vertical relief define the southern Chugach Mountains. The territory is split by the administrative line of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough Chugach Census Area, marking a transition between local borough authority and federal census oversight. The southern portion of the sheet is protected within the Chugach National Forest, a region primarily composed of permanent ice fields and steep rock faces. The 120-foot contour intervals underscore the extreme nature of this terrain, which remains largely untouched by roads or permanent settlements. The map detail highlights the intersection of several townships, including t16n r9e and t15n r9e, providing a precise grid for high-alpine navigation and land management.
