2018 Map of Seward C-6 NW

About this map

Chugach National Forest land defines this portion of the Kenai Peninsula, where the landscape is carved by numerous creek drainages. The INHT: Johnson Pass Trail winds through the western half of the map, following a path between the drainages of Bench Cr and Center Cr. This trail corridor represents a modern segment of the Iditarod National Historic Trail system, tracing a historical route through the mountains. High elevation points such as Tincan Peak and Bench Peak anchor the northeast and southeast sectors, while the Placer River flows along the eastern edge. The complex network of waterways, including Bertha Cr, Lyon Cr, and Gleason Cr, suggests the steep and varied topography of the Chugach Range in this sub-arctic environment. The lack of modern settlements highlights the area's preservation as a wilderness and recreational corridor.
