2017 Map of Seward A-6 SW

About this map

Resurrection Peninsula dominates the coastal landscape of this 2017 survey, where the steep, glaciated terrain of the Kenai Peninsula meets the waters of the North Pacific. The map delineates the overlapping boundaries of the Chugach National Forest and the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, protecting a region defined by its inaccessible shorelines and ice-carved topography. Notable water features like Spoon Glacier and Fourth of July Cr feed into the expansive Day Harbor, which is punctuated by smaller inlets such as Talus Bay and the sheltered Bowen Anchorage. This modern topographic study illustrates the persistence of a wild maritime environment, where no roads penetrate the interior and the primary access remains by sea, as reflected in the detailed mapping of the coastline and surrounding peaks.
