About this map

Chugach National Forest encompasses the northern landmass of this coastal survey, where the rugged shoreline of the Kenai Peninsula meets the open waters of the Gulf of Alaska. The terrain is defined by a series of steep coastal ridges and numerous small, unnamed islands scattered along the jagged coastline. This 2018 topographic data highlights the transition from the protected forest interior to the exposed maritime environment. The absence of permanent roads or settlements underscores the wilderness character of this region, which remains primarily accessible by sea and is shaped by the dynamic forces of the North Pacific.
