2023 Map of Seward C-1 NW

About this map

Prince William Sound defines the landscape of this remote coastal survey, where the rugged islands of the Chugach National Forest rise from the deep northern waters. The southern half of the sheet is dominated by the northern reaches of Naked Island, characterized by a complex series of inlets and elevations including McPherson Bay and East Point. Further north, the smaller landmass of Peak Island sits between Liljegren Passage and McPherson Passage, marking a critical navigation point for those traversing the sound. This map illustrates the intersection of maritime passage and protected wilderness, showing an area devoid of roads or settlements, where terrain is defined solely by its shoreline contours and prominent coastal features like Elk Head Point.
