2018 Map of Seward A-3 NW

About this map

The Prince William Sound shoreline and the northern reaches of the Gulf of Alaska define this maritime environment, where the coastal boundary of the Chugach National Forest meets the sea. Central to this map is the mountainous profile of Bainbridge Island, separated from the mainland by the narrow Bainbridge Passage. To the east, Flemming Island and the smaller Gage Island sit within the sound, while the jagged coast of the Kenai Peninsula extends into the western portion of the sheet near Point Countess. The landscape is marked by steep island topography and isolated maritime landmarks such as Sister Rock and the Pleiades Islands. These features illustrate the complex archipelagos and deep-water passages that have historically guided navigation and subsistence in this part of the Alaska coast, providing a clear view of the shoreline before modern developments changed these remote waterways.
