2018 Map of Seward B-5 NE

About this map

Prince William Sound dominates the northwestern portion of this 2018 survey, where the waters of Kings Bay meet the shoreline at Kings Point. This maritime landscape is defined by the massive ice fields of the Chugach National Forest, which feed a series of named ice flows descending toward the coast. The topography reveals the dramatic elevation changes characteristic of the region, specifically where the Applegate Glacier and Kings Glacier dominate the central peaks. To the east and south, the ice continues with Falling Glacier, Langdon Glacier, and Princeton Glacier. The map also delineates the administrative boundary between the Kenai Peninsula Borough and the Valdez-Cordova Census Area, which cuts through the mountainous interior. This document serves as a precise record of glacial positions and coastal contours in the early 21st century.
