The Chugach National Forest shoreline meets the shifting waters of the north Pacific in this coastal survey. The landscape is defined by a complex network of tidally influenced channels, notably Walhalla Slough and Gus Steven Slough, which thread through the marshy transition between the mainland and the sea. These waterways serve as the primary drainage for the alluvial flats before opening into the Gulf of Alaska. Seaward, the dynamic nature of the coast is evident in features like Copper Sands and Grass Island Bar, which provide protection for the inner sloughs. This map documents the precise configuration of these shoals and sandbars as they appeared following the SPOT imagery and National Hydrography Dataset updates of the early 21st century.
