About this map

Chugach Mountains rise sharply above the northern reaches of the Gulf of Alaska in this coastal landscape. The terrain is dominated by the steep slopes of the Heney Range and Mount Robert Korn, all contained within the protected boundaries of the Chugach National Forest. Evidence of outdoor navigation and access is marked by the Heney Ridge Trail, which provides a route through the high elevations overlooking the coast. To the east, the transition from mountain to sea is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Mountain Slough and Center Slough, while Crystal Falls marks a point of descent toward the shoreline. The coastal profile is further shaped by Hartney Bay, providing a clear look at the geological and hydrological intersection of the Alaskan wilderness and the Pacific in the early 21st century.
