2023 Map of Seward D-7 NW

About this map

The waters of Turnagain Arm separate the southern reaches of Anchorage from the historic mining settlements on the Kenai Peninsula. On the southern shore, the community of Hope is mapped in detail, showing its proximity to the Hope Airport and the Hope Cem. The landscape is dominated by the steep ascent into the Chugach National Forest, where trails such as the Bird Creek Trl and Falls Creek Trl navigate the sharp topography. The transport network reflects the region's reliance on the Seward Highway and Hope Highway for coastal access. To the east, the settlement of Sunrise sits near the mouth of Sunrise Creek, illustrating the scattered nature of these mountain-shadowed outposts. The map also traces the Anchorage Municipality Kenai Peninsula Borough boundary as it cuts across the Pacific Ocean waters.
