About this map

Chugach National Forest encompasses the entirety of the terrestrial landscape on this coastal portion of South Central Alaska. The terrain is dominated by the steep, glaciated rises of the Chugach Mountains, which descend abruptly into the deep waters of Prince William Sound. This coastal interface is marked by significant topographical landmarks, including the prominent peak of Mt Freemantle and its southern extension at Point Freemantle. Along the western shoreline, the waters of Columbia Bay and the sheltered Jade Harbor suggest a coastline shaped by glacial activity and maritime influence. The lack of roads or established settlements on this sheet highlights the wilderness character of the region, where the landscape is defined by vertical relief and maritime access points rather than human infrastructure.
