About this map

Chugach National Forest encompasses this high-altitude Alaskan landscape within the municipality of Anchorage. The map reveals a complex glacial drainage system where the Glacier River and Twentymile River flow through deep valleys shaped by tectonic and glacial forces. Central to the topography is Carmen Lake, fed by the Upper Carmen River and its tributary, the South Fork Upper Carmen River. The intricate contour work illustrates the steep verticality of the Chugach Range, capturing a wilderness where human infrastructure is entirely absent in favor of natural watercourses and undeveloped forest lands. This contemporary survey serves as a vital record of current hydrological patterns and land boundaries within one of the nation’s largest national forests.
