2018 Map of Seward D-2 NW

About this map

Chugach National Forest encompasses the entirety of this coastal wilderness, where the steep terrain of the Chugach Mountains meets the intricate shoreline of Prince William Sound. The landscape is dominated by glacial-carved topography and narrow maritime corridors, including the deep waters of Unakwik Inlet and the sheltered Siwash Bay. In the southern reaches, the coast becomes increasingly jagged, forming smaller inlets such as Mueller Cove, Schoppe Bay, and Eaglek Bay. The 2018 survey reveals a territory with no established roads or settlements, where navigation is dictated by the natural harbors and the rocky presence of Siwas Island. This map documents a high-latitude ecosystem where the transition from alpine peaks to sea level occurs over remarkably short distances, providing a detailed record of the pristine coastal interface in the early 21st century.
