2024 Map of Cordova A-3 NE

About this map

Strawberry Reef stretches along the coastline of the Gulf of Alaska, marking the transition between the open sea and the protected environments of the Chugach National Forest. This modern 2024 survey documents a landscape of shifting sands and tidal flats, where the coastal boundary is defined by a series of low-lying bars and reefs rather than a solid shoreline. The land is largely dominated by the federally protected forest area, illustrating the remote and undeveloped character of the Alaska coast in the Chugach Census Area. Significant portions of the quadrangle are comprised of open water, highlighting the importance of maritime navigation and coastal geomorphology in this region of the North Pacific.
