2017 Map of Seward D-5 NW

About this map

Chugach National Forest encompasses this glacial landscape in the Anchorage Municipality, where dramatic elevation changes define the path of several significant waterways. The Twentymile Glacier feeds into the broad basin of the Twentymile River, while the southern reaches of the map are dominated by the drainage systems of the Glacier River and the Upper Carmen River. This 2017 survey illustrates the complex glacial hydrography of the region, including Carmen Lake and the South Fork Upper Carmen River. The map provides a detailed view of the natural boundaries and township lines, such as t10n r4e, within this protected wilderness area. Geologists and researchers can trace the movement of ice and water across this high-altitude terrain, where the absence of roads underscores the area's preservation as part of the national forest system.
