2017 Map of Middleton Island D-2 NE

About this map

Kayak Island dominates the southeastern portion of this coastal survey, its elongated profile rising sharply from the Gulf of Alaska. Much of the landmass is protected within the Chugach National Forest, where steep, high-elevation contours trace the island's narrow central spine. The map documents the primary passage of Kayak Entrance to the north, separating the island from the mainland and surrounding waters. Positioned within the Alaska Valdez-Cordova Census Area, the landscape is defined by its isolation and the dramatic elevation changes that occur within a short distance of the shoreline. The inclusion of the Public Land Survey System grids, such as t22s r5e and t23s r6e, provides a precise framework for locating specific coastal features and terrain markers across this maritime environment.
