About this map

Chugach National Forest encompasses the intricate waterways and glaciated peaks of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the tides of Port Nellie Juan meet the remnants of early industry. The presence of Cannery Ruins near the Port Nellie Juan shoreline and several mines on the northern hills suggests a history of maritime extraction and resource prospecting. This coastal wilderness is managed with several Forest Service outposts, including the Paulson Bay Cabin and Shrode Lake Cabin, providing remote access points near Lake Shrode.

The maritime geography is defined by deep inlets like Cochrane Bay and the narrow Culross Passage separating the mainland from Culross Island. From the Tebenkof Glacier in the northwest to the protected waters of Surprise Cove State Marine Park, the map documents a terrain where transit relies on the sea. Features such as the Fish Ladder at Paulson Bay further highlight the intersection of natural resources and public land management.
