Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge dominates this coastal survey, where the terrestrial world meets the open Pacific Ocean. This maritime environment is defined by its isolated landforms and coastal outcroppings, serving as a critical sanctuary within the Kenai Peninsula Borough. The map captures the western fringe of the Gulf of Alaska, characterized by several named islands and landmasses that rise directly from the sea. Notable geological features include Granite Cape on the mainland's edge and the remote Chiswell Islands further offshore. This 2017 edition provides precise documentation of these nautical landmarks, including Matushka Island and the isolated Seal Rocks, as they stood in the early 21st century.
