About this map

Seward serves as the focal point for this survey of the Kenai Peninsula coastline, where the rugged maritime infrastructure meets the steep slopes of the Chugach National Forest. The map documents the intricate interface between land and sea along the western shores of Resurrection Bay, spanning from the urban grid near Port Avenue and Ballaine Boulevard south to the settlement at Lowell Point.

Across the bay, the landscape is defined by massive natural features and glacial systems. The Resurrection Peninsula guards the entrance to Thumb Cove, while the high interior peaks support the Prospect Glacier, Spoon Glacier, and Porcupine Glacier. The map captures the specialized transport network of the region, including the Alaska Marine Hwy waterway and land routes like Nash Road, which provides access to the industrial area near Fourth of July Creek.
