2018 Map of Seward D-2 SW

About this map

Chugach National Forest land dominates the northern and western reaches of this maritime landscape in Prince William Sound. The geography is defined by a series of significant coastal islands and isolated points, including Kiniklik Island and the jagged profile of Point Pellew at the forest's edge. To the south, the archipelago continues with Little Axel Lind Island and the larger Axel Lind Island, separated from the mainland by deep coastal waters. This 2018 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise view of the shorelines and topography of the Unorganized Borough, from the sheltered waters of Olsen Cove to the scattered outcrops of the Jenny Islands. The map illustrates the minimal human infrastructure in this region, focusing instead on the complex coastal interface of Eaglek Island and the protected wilderness boundaries.
