Prince William Sound dominates this coastal landscape, where the tides of south-central Alaska meet the heavily timbered terrain of the Chugach National Forest. The map documents a complex coastline defined by deep glacial inlets and protected waters, including Wells Bay and the smaller Granite Bay and Cedar Bay to the east. These waterways are shielded by significant landforms such as Block Island and prominent coastal markers like Unakwik Point. In the southeastern corner, Fairmount Bay sits tucked behind Fairmount Point, illustrating the intricate geography of the Valdez-Cordova Census Area. This 2018 survey provides a precise look at the land-sea interface before the further shifting of modern glacial and coastal environments, highlighting the remote maritime character of the region.
