About this map

Chugach National Forest encompasses this wilderness area where the Chugach Mountains meet the northern reaches of Prince William Sound. The landscape is defined by massive ice fields and active glacial activity, with Amherst Glacier, Tommy Glacier, and Cap Glacier dominating the high northern elevations. These frozen giants feed water systems like the Avery River, which carves through the terrain toward the coast.

Maritime features are central to the southern portion of the map, where the shoreline is indented by Cascade Bay and Eaglek Bay. For those navigating the backcountry, the Cascade Trail provides a documented route near the coast, while the Eagle Glacier stands as a significant landmark in the interior. The absence of permanent settlements highlights the protected, wild character of this region during the early 21st century.
