About this map

Hinchinbrook Island dominates the northwestern corner of this coastal survey, where the terrestrial wilderness of the Chugach National Forest meets the open waters of the Gulf of Alaska. The landscape is defined by the transition from the island's steep maritime terrain into the vast expanse of the northern Pacific. While the majority of the map depicts open water, the intricate shoreline of the island provides a detailed look at the island's southern reaches. This modern cartographic study uses data from the National Hydrography Dataset and the National Elevation Dataset to delineate the exact interface between land and sea, offering a precise view of this uninhabited stretch of the Alaskan coast within the bounds of Township 19 South, Range 8 West.
