2023 Map of Seward D-5 SE
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
Whittier stands at the head of Passage Canal, serving as a vital maritime gateway where the mountains of the Chugach National Forest meet the Pacific Ocean. This 2023 survey illustrates the dramatic ice-dominated landscape of the Kenai Peninsula, where the Whittier Glacier, Billings Glacier, and Seth Glacier feed into the surrounding fjords. The maritime infrastructure is centered on a Ferry Route crossing the canal, connecting the isolated settlement to the broader Prince William Sound region. The map details several coastal features including Shotgun Cove, Poe Bay, and Blackstone Bay, while showing the drainage patterns of Whittier Creek and the South Fork Upper Carmen River. These features represent the unique convergence of deep-water access and alpine terrain that defines the modern character of this coastal Alaskan community.
