2024 Map of Cordova D-8 SW

About this map

Prince William Sound dominates this coastal maritime environment, where the shoreline of the Chugach National Forest meets the open water. The map focuses on a series of navigational landmarks and landforms, most notably Reef Island and the infamous Bligh Reef. This is a landscape defined by its nautical significance, showing the precise intersection of public forest lands and the sea. The cartography provides a clear view of the Cnf boundaries along the coast, illustrating how the terrestrial wilderness of the national forest gives way to the deep channels and reef systems of the sound. This specific quadrangle serves as a detailed record of the islands and submerged hazards that characterize this part of the Alaskan coastline.
