2023 Map of Seward D-7 SE

About this map

Sunrise sits at the northern edge of this landscape where Sixmile Creek drains toward the Turnagain Arm. The area is defined by the steep elevation changes of the Chugach National Forest, where a network of drainages including Seattle Creek, Gulch Creek, and Walker Creek carve through the terrain. Transportation in this part of the Kenai Peninsula is anchored by the intersection of the Seward Highway and the Hope Highway, providing access to this high-country wilderness. For those tracing the history of movement through these valleys, the map indicates established paths such as the Gulch Creek Trl and Vibel Trl, which follow the natural contours of the land. The drainage patterns of East Fork Sixmile Creek and Canyon Creek illustrate the hydrological complexity of the region, where numerous smaller tributaries like Black Creek and Nelson Creek feed into the primary river systems.
