2018 Map of Seward A-1 SW

About this map

Chugach National Forest lands meet the sea along this coastal segment of the Kenai Peninsula in the late 2010s. The map captures a dramatic transition from the high, glacier-carved topography of the Alaskan interior to the open waters of the Gulf of Alaska. The interior terrain is defined by steep elevation gains, rising quickly from the shoreline into complex ridges and peaks. A notable coastal landmark, Purple Bluff, stands out as a prominent feature along the steep shoreline, where the mountains descend directly into the sea. This survey is primarily a study of wilderness and topography, showing no roads or permanent settlements, but illustrating the precise township and range boundaries including t1s r12e, t1s r13e, and t2s r12e that overlay these protected federal lands.
