2018 Map of Seward C-7 NE

About this map

Silvertip serves as the primary landmark in this high-altitude corner of the Chugach National Forest, situated where the Seward Highway follows the valley of East Fork Sixmile Creek. The landscape is defined by a dense network of historic and modern routes, reflecting the evolution of travel through the Kenai Peninsula. Long-established paths such as the INHT - Wagon Road Trail and the INHT - Johnson Pass Trail cross the terrain alongside seasonal routes like the INHT - Turnagain Pass Snowmachi (Snow). These trails often parallel high-mountain drainages, including Granite Cr and Lynx Cr. In the southern half of the quadrangle, the terrain becomes increasingly steep and remote, marked by deep valleys carved by Juneau Cr, Mills Cr, and Timberline Cr. This 2018 survey provides an detailed look at the interface between the vital transportation corridor of the Seward Highway and the protected wilderness of the national forest.
