2018 Map of Seward C-1 NE

About this map

Prince William Sound dominates this maritime survey, illustrating a massive expanse of open water within the Valdez-Cordova Census Area. Unlike many coastal maps that trace the intricate shorelines of Alaska’s fjords, this specific quadrangle is defined almost entirely by the marine environment. The map captures a vital section of the northern sound during the late twenty-first century, a period marked by ongoing environmental monitoring and maritime transit in these subarctic waters. The absence of landmasses or terrestrial landmarks emphasizes the scale of the sound's water column, providing a precise geographic reference for the open sea between coastal ports.
