About this map

Chugach National Forest encompasses this wilderness area where the massive Miles Glacier dominates the southern landscape. The terrain is defined by the sharp elevations of the Chugach Mountains, which separate the ice fields and glacial lakes that characterize this portion of the Unorganized Borough. At the center of the sheet, Van Cleve Lake sits at the foot of the Van Cleve Glacier, illustrating the dynamic relationship between ice and water in this high-altitude environment. This 2014 survey documents the glacial extents and topographic contours of a remote region where the physical landscape is shaped almost entirely by natural forces, offering a clear record of geological features far from any established settlements or road networks.
