2018 Map of Seward C-4 NE

About this map

Prince William Sound defines this coastal reach of the Chugach National Forest, where the complex marine geography of South Central Alaska is on full display. The central landform, Culross Island, is separated from the mainland by the narrow Culross Passage, a waterway carved into the mountainous shoreline. The map documents a landscape almost entirely shaped by water and elevation, showing the deep inlets of Long Bay and Goose Bay as they penetrate the forest boundary. For those navigating the terrain, the Shrode Lake Trail provides one of the few established land routes through the dense forest, passing near water bodies like Lake Jack. Small features like Picturesque Cove and Hidden Bay illustrate the intricate coastline that has long dictated movement and settlement patterns in this part of the Unorganized Borough.
