About this map

The Chugach Mountains dominate this 2023 survey of the terrain east of Anchorage, where high-elevation landmarks like Mt Alyeska and Hibbs Peak overlook a complex network of glacial drainages. This area within the Chugach National Forest is defined by its recreation and transit corridors, most notably the Iditarod National Historic Tr and the Peterson Creek Tr. These routes follow the natural contours carved by Glacier Creek and Winner Creek, illustrating the intersection of historic sled dog trails and modern conservation.

At the southern edge of the sheet, the Seward Highway skirts the coastline near where the Glacier River and Twentymile River meet the inlet. This corridor represents the primary pulse of travel through the region, passing by Blueberry Hill and the mouth of Kern Creek. The map provides a precise look at the township and range lines (such as t10n r2e) that parcel this wilderness, essential for locating specific land claims or forest boundaries.
