2018 Map of Cordova A-2 SW

About this map

Gulf of Alaska waters dominate the southern reaches of this coastal quadrangle near the Valdez-Cordova Census Area. The map highlights the intersection of maritime expanse and administrative surveying lines, specifically noting the divisions of t20s r4e and t20s r5e. Because this area is primarily open water, the sheet focuses on the precision of the Public Land Survey System as it meets the northern Pacific coastline. The lack of terrestrial settlements or named coastal landmarks emphasizes the isolation of this particular stretch of Alaskan shoreline in the late 2010s.
