2014 Map of Cordova D-5 NW

About this map

The Chugach Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape in the southern interior of the Chugach National Forest. This 2014 survey documents the glacial topography and water systems within the unorganized borough, including the expansive Wortmanns Glacier in the northeast and Cordova Glacier further south. The map provides a precise record of the ice margins and drainage patterns, such as the headwaters of Dead Cr, as they appeared in the early 21st century. The sheer lack of human infrastructure or built settlements emphasizes the wilderness character of this region, where the primary features are the perennial snowfields and the steep elevation changes of the alpine terrain.
