About this map

Chugach National Forest encompasses the northern portion of this coastal landscape, where glacial runoff and braided river systems meet the sea. The terrain is defined by a complex network of waterways, including Government Slough and Joe Reeves Slough, which weave through the marshy lowlands at the edge of the Gulf of Alaska. The presence of Big Glacier and its associated Little Glacier Slough indicates an environment shaped by active ice movement and deposition. These glacial outflows feed directly into the Sheridan River and Scott River, creating a dynamic hydrologic system that changes as sediments shift. The absence of roads or permanent structures reflects the wilderness character of this region, governed by the natural cycles of the Eyak River and the tides of the open gulf.
