About this map

The Chugach Mountains rise sharply above the northern reaches of Prince William Sound, defining a coastline of deep bays and isolated islands. This coastal landscape is dominated by the Chugach National Forest, where the topography reflects a world of high-relief terrain and tidal waters. The map details the intricate shoreline of Long Bay and the smaller inlets of Eickelberg Bay and Useless Cove, illustrating the maritime character of the region.

In the southern portion of the sheet, Glacier Island stands as a significant landmark, separated from the mainland by the waters of Jackson Hole. Named coastal points such as Slipper Point and Iceberg Point serve as essential navigational markers for this maritime wilderness. The inland water bodies, including Billys Hole, indicate the varied hydrologic features found within the forest's boundaries, offering a detailed view of the area's geography in the 2020s.
