2018 Map of Seward A-1 NW

About this map

Chugach National Forest lands dominate this coastal stretch where the northern reaches of the Gulf of Alaska meet the protected waters of Prince William Sound. This 2018 survey documents a remote wilderness landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and intricate shoreline features, including the sheltered inlet of Port Chalmers. In the north, Wilby Island sits just off the coast, marking the entrance to larger maritime channels. The map illustrates the topographic complexity of the region, where steep timbered slopes drop directly into the sea, showing how the physical geography of the Chugach National Forest continues to dictate the isolation and natural character of this Alaskan territory.
