Prince William Sound dominates this coastal survey, where the glacial waters meet the steep southern slopes of the Chugach Mountains. The landscape is almost entirely defined by the Chugach National Forest, a wilderness of deep inlets and high-elevation drainage systems. Waterways such as the Sheep River and Sahlin Cr flow south toward the sound, with the latter featuring the dramatic Sahlin Falls near its mouth. This 2018 edition reveals the intricate coastline of Beartrap Bay and the northern reaches of Sheep Bay, illustrating the complex interaction between mountain runoff and the tidal bays of the Valdez-Cordova region. Small landmarks like North Island in Simpson Bay provide focal points for maritime navigation and local geographic study within this preserved Alaskan corridor.
