About this map

Chugach National Forest encompasses the entirety of this coastal landscape, where the waters of the Pacific Ocean meet the steep topography of the Kenai Peninsula. The intricate shoreline is defined by deep inlets and protected coves, reflecting a marine-dependent environment where access is governed by the tides. A prominent Ferry Route cuts across the Passage Canal, indicating the vital transportation links required to navigate this portion of the Anchorage Municipality Chugach Census Area. Named landmarks such as Point Pigot and Point Cochiane serve as essential navigational markers for the various bays, including Pigot Bay and the isolated Surprise Cove. The lack of terrestrial road infrastructure emphasized by the reliance on these waterways and the presence of names like Logging Camp Bay points toward the region's historical and ongoing ties to natural resource management and maritime transit.
