1994 Map of Seward B-4

About this map

Glacial ice and saltwater inlets define this coastal section of the Chugach National Forest, where the massive Princeton Glacier and Chenega Glacier descend toward the sea. The landscape is a complex network of deep water bodies, including the aptly named Blue Fiord and Nassau Fiord, which carve into the mainland. In the east, Chenega Island and Jackpot Island sit along the Dangerous Passage, a waterway that separates the larger islands from the mainland's intricate shoreline. This 1990s revision reveals the inland hydrology where Ewan Lake and Eshamy Lake sit tucked behind coastal peaks like Saddle Peak. The map documents a wilderness without established roads or trails, where the geography is dictated by ice flows like the Nellie Juan Glacier and the Contact Glacier.
