2018 Map of Seward C-3 NW

About this map

Prince William Sound dominates this coastal survey, where the deep waters of Perry Passage separate the mainland from the rugged eastern shore of Culross Island. This maritime landscape, protected within the Chugach National Forest, is defined by a complex network of bays and points accessible only by water. The map traces the intricate coastline from the secluded Hidden Bay in the west to the prominent headlands of Tipping Point and Bush Point in the center of the sheet. These geographic features highlight the navigational challenges and natural harbors that have historically supported seasonal fishing and maritime travel in this portion of the Alaska-Valdez-Cordova Census Area. To the east, West Twin Bay provides another sheltered inlet against the forested terrain, illustrating the dramatic intersection of sea and land that characterizes the Chugach region.
