2018 Map of Seward A-8 NE

About this map

The Harding Icefield dominates this landscape on the Kenai Peninsula, where glacial ice meets the protected wilderness of Kenai Fjords National Park and the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. This environment is defined by its massive ice presence and the high-elevation drainage systems that feed into the Resurrection River valley. The map documents the northern reaches of the icefield and the rugged transition into the Chugach National Forest. Human access to this remote region is represented by the Harding Icefield Trail and the Resurrection River Trail, which follow the natural contours of the river valley and the glacier's edge. Named waterways like Cottonwood Cr and Redman Cr provide additional landmarks for navigating this terrain where ice, forest, and alpine water intersect.
