2024 Map of Cordova D-5 SW

About this map

Chugach National Forest encompasses the entirety of this Alaskan landscape, where glacial meltwater and mountain drainage systems dictate the local geography. The central valley is carved by the Gravina River, which flows westward through a broad drainage basin fed by numerous unnamed tributaries. To the north, the Cordova Glacier rests in the high elevations, serving as a primary source for the region's hydrography. The southern reaches are defined by the Sheep River and Simpson Creek, illustrating the complex network of waterways that emerge from the high ridges. This map captures a pristine wilderness area within the national forest system, showing a topography where natural boundaries and watercourses remain the only significant landmarks, unmarred by modern infrastructure or permanent settlements.
