2023 Map of Seward B-5 NW

About this map

Wolverine Glacier and the drainage systems of the Kenai Peninsula dominate this portion of the Chugach National Forest. The landscape is defined by the glacial activity that feeds the Kings River and the Nellie Juan River, both of which carve through the steep topography toward the coastline. Where the mountains meet the Pacific Ocean, the map reveals an intricate network of tidal flats and river mouths, illustrating the dynamic interface between freshwater runoff and the sea. This coastal area remains largely undeveloped, preserving the original hydrography and terrain as established by the Public Land Survey System grids across several townships, including t4n r4e and t5n r4e. The interaction of ice, river, and ocean here provides a detailed view of a landscape still shaped primarily by natural forces rather than human infrastructure.
