2024 Map of Cordova B-5 SE

About this map

Chugach National Forest dominates the upper half of this coastal quadrangle, marking a rugged intersection between the Alaskan wilderness and the sea. The map focuses on the shifting littoral landscape where the mainland meets the Gulf of Alaska. A prominent feature of this dynamic shoreline is Copper Sands, a series of coastal deposits that illustrate the ongoing geomorphological changes in the Copper River delta region. The absence of roads or permanent settlements within these boundaries underscores the preservation of this area as a natural sanctuary, defined primarily by its tidal flats and maritime boundary lines like t17s r2w and t18s r2w.
