2023 Map of Seward A-6 SW

About this map

Chugach National Forest and the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge dominate this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the rugged topography of the Resurrection Peninsula meets the cold waters of Day Harbor. High peaks such as Santa Ana Peak and Mt Mary define the interior, their steep slopes descending sharply toward the shoreline. The interaction between the glaciated terrain and the sea is evidenced by the deep indentations of Talus Bay and the sheltered waters of Bowen Anchorage. This 2023 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details the complex hydrology and relief of the Kenai Peninsula, emphasizing the wild, undeveloped character of these protected federal lands. The map serves as a contemporary record of a region where the environment remains largely shaped by natural forces rather than human settlement.
