About this map

Chugach National Forest encompasses the entirety of this Alaskan wilderness landscape, where the high-altitude terrain of the Chugach Mountains meets a complex network of glacial drainage. The northern portion of the sheet is dominated by the broad valley of the Rude River, while the southern reaches transition into a low-lying riparian system characterized by Government Slough. A single human-made path, the Sand Trl, appears in the southern sections, suggesting limited seasonal access to these remote reaches. The survey detail captures the intricate braided patterns of the waterways as they move through the mountainous terrain, providing a look at the natural landscape as it remained in the early 21st century before modern developments or shifts in the water table could alter these drainage paths.
