2018 Map of Seward C-5 SW

About this map

Chugach National Forest encompasses this high-elevation region of the Kenai Peninsula, where a complex network of ice fields and flowing glaciers dominates the landscape. The sheer scale of the glaciated terrain is evident in the convergence of massive ice bodies like the Blackstone Glacier and the Northland Glacier, which carve through the steep topography. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the Spencer Glacier and Trail Glacier define the glacial drainage patterns that feed into the local water systems. This map provides a detailed view of these ice masses as they were recorded in the early 21st century, showing the proximity of the Beloit Glacier and Casement Glacier. The high-relief contours and the course of the Kings River illustrate the dynamic natural processes still shaping this portion of Alaska.
