2018 Map of Seward C-1 NW

About this map

Prince William Sound defines this maritime landscape, where the northern reaches of Naked Island and the entirety of Peak Island rise from the deep glacial waters. These landmasses, protected within the Chugach National Forest, exhibit a complex coastline of points and passages shaped by seismic and glacial forces. The map details maritime navigation features such as Liljegren Passage to the northwest and the sheltered McPherson Bay on the western shore of Naked Island. The inclusion of Elk Head Point and East Point provides specific landmarks for maritime history and navigation studies in this part of the Unorganized Borough. This survey illustrates the isolation of these islands, showing no developed roads or permanent settlements, reflecting the wild character of the Chugach region during the early 21st century.
