2024 Map of Blying Sound D-1 SW

About this map

The Gulf of Alaska dominates this coastal survey, where the open sea meets the rugged maritime fringes of the Chugach Census Area. The map highlights a remote archipelago including the Wooded Islands and the smaller, distinct landmass of Tanker Island located in the northwest quadrant. These features represent critical navigational landmarks at the mouth of Blying Sound. Land boundaries are defined by the Public Land Survey System, specifically marking t3s r12e and t4s r12e. The absence of roads or established settlements on these islands underscores the isolated nature of the Kenai Peninsula coastline, where the landscape is shaped primarily by the forces of the North Pacific and the boundaries of the Chugach National Forest area.
