About this map

Chugach National Forest encompasses the vast majority of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the Chugach Mountains meet the waters of Prince William Sound. The terrain is defined by steep elevation changes and a network of drainages including Sheep River and Simpson Cr. Evidence of human activity and navigation is concentrated along the Raging Creek Trail, which winds through the mountain passes. The southern portion of the map reveals the intricate shoreline of Simpson Bay and the open expanse of the Gulf of Alaska. Near the coast, smaller features like Milton Lake and North Island provide specific landmarks for maritime and wilderness navigation. The lack of developed roads reflects the primitive character of this region during the early 21st century.
