2014 Map of Cordova C-1 SE

About this map

Chugach National Forest encompasses the entirety of this high-altitude landscape in the Unorganized Borough, where massive ice fields and glacial movements define the local geography. The northern edge of the sheet is dominated by the terminus and outwash of the Miles Glacier, while the southeastern corner is shaped by the sprawling Martin River Glacier. Between these two ice masses, the map records a wilderness of steep contour gradients and drainage patterns, unmarred by roads or permanent settlements. The presence of these active glaciers highlights the dynamic nature of the Southcentral Alaska coastline, where ice and rock are the primary architects of the terrain.
