About this map

Seward serves as the focal point for this survey of the Kenai Peninsula’s eastern coast, where the urban corporate boundary meets the expansive Chugach National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the glacial systems of the Resurrection peninsula, including the Godwin Glacier, Prospect Glacier, and Spoon Glacier. These ice masses feed into coastal drainages like Fourth of July Creek and Likes Creek, which empty into the waters of Resurrection Bay.

Marine access points are clearly defined along the shoreline, from Lowell Point near the town center to the sheltered waters of Thumb Cove. Further south, the State Recreation Area at Caines Head marks a significant protected area along the bay. The map provides a detailed view of the transition from tidal zones to high alpine glaciers, documenting the topographical character of the Alaska coast in the early 1980s.
