2023 Map of Seward D-1 NE

About this map

Prince William Sound dominates this coastal survey, where the glacial waters meet the complex shoreline of the Chugach National Forest. The map documents a landscape defined by deep-water inlets and numerous named points, including Flent Point and Long Point along the western coast, and the prominent Elder Point to the south. Central to the maritime geography are several substantial islands and bays, most notably Heather Island tucked between Columbia Bay and Heather Bay. This modern topographic study illustrates the intricate bathymetry of the Alaskan coast, highlighting natural passages such as Lutris Pass and protected anchorages like Granite Cove and Emerald Cove. The terrain rises sharply from the sea to landmarks like Round Mtn, reflecting the characteristic coastal elevation changes found within the Chugach NF boundaries.
