About this map

The town of Seward serves as the focal point for this late-century coastal survey, situated where the Alaska Railroad and Seward Highway meet the head of Resurrection Bay. This industrial and transit hub is depicted with its aviation and maritime infrastructure, including the Seward Airport and local Comm Towers, alongside educational landmarks like Seward High Sch. The surrounding landscape is a complex network of glacial valleys and alpine peaks, where the Resurrection River flows through a wide alluvial plain north of the city.

Local recreation and wilderness areas define the margins of the settlement, from the Caines Head State Recreation Area to the expansive Chugach National Forest. Hikers and outdoorsmen can trace the Lost Lake Trail and locate remote markers like the Dale Clemens Cabin. The map captures the specialized geography of the Kenai Peninsula, where active glaciers such as Exit Glacier and Bear Lake Glacier continue to shape the terrain near established communities like Woodrow.
