2017 Map of Cordova A-2 SE

About this map

Wingham Island stands as a prominent coastal feature along the eastern edge of the Gulf of Alaska, marking the transition between open sea and the sheltered Okalee Channel. This maritime landscape, captured in 2017, is largely defined by the protected territory of the Chugach National Forest, which covers the island's terrain. The map illustrates the specialized geography of the Valdez-Cordova Census Area, where terrestrial landforms are few and concentrated on the eastern margin. The intricate contouring on Wingham Island suggests a steep, elevated landmass rising abruptly from the surrounding waters, a characteristic of the coastal topography in this region of Alaska.
