2014 Map of Cordova D-3 NW

About this map

Schwan Glacier dominates the northern reaches of this high-altitude landscape, carving its path through the frozen interior of the Chugach National Forest. This 2014 survey captures a portion of the Alaskan wilderness where the icy tongues of the Heney Glacier also extend through the deep valleys. The topographic detail, provided by the U.S. Geological Survey, uses an 80-foot contour interval to illustrate the extreme relief of the region. This map is defined by its glacial activity and absence of permanent settlements, reflecting the raw, primitive character of the Unorganized Borough during the early 21st century. The Public Land Survey System grid identifies the area within Townships 10 and 11 South, Ranges 2 and 3 East, providing a precise spatial reference for glaciologists and environmental historians tracking ice movement and forest boundaries over time.
