2018 Map of Seward A-4 NE

About this map

Chugach National Forest encompasses the entirety of this coastal landscape, where steep maritime peaks meet the intricate shoreline of the Prince William Sound. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes rising from the Gulf of Alaska to prominent summits like Claw Peak and Dual Head. Waterways dominate the geography, featuring deep inlets such as Whale Bay and Humpback Cove that carve into the landmass. This 2018 survey documents a remote wilderness environment largely devoid of human infrastructure, focusing instead on the natural coastal hydrology of Bainbridge Passage and minor drainage systems like Frenchy Cr. The map illustrates the complex interplay of tidal inlets and glacial-carved topography, including smaller features like Eleshanski Cove along the eastern shoreline.
