Puget Bay cuts into the southern edge of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the tides of the Gulf of Alaska meet the steep topography of the Kenai Peninsula. Much of the territory is defined by the high elevations of the Chugach Mountains, specifically marked by the prominent heights of Pinnacle Mtn in the north and Puget Peak overlooking the water to the south. This area is characterized by its protected status, falling within the expansive Chugach National Forest and the coastal reaches of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, also noted as Amnwr. The map highlights the intersection of the Kenai Peninsula Borough and the Valdez-Cordova Census Area, illustrating a wilderness interface where mountain peaks provide the primary landmarks in an otherwise roadless terrain.
