2016 Map of Valdez A-7 NW

About this map

Chugach National Forest dominates this coastal Alaska landscape, where the ice of the Columbia Glacier and Shoup Glacier meets the northern reaches of Prince William Sound. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, rising from the waters of Shoup Bay to the peaks of Mt Shasta and Mt Hogan. The map documents a complex hydrological network where glacial runoff feeds into several named drainages, including Gold Creek, Uno Creek, and Palmer Creek. Between these summits lies the Uno Basin, a distinct topographical bowl that illustrates the glacial carving characteristic of this region. This survey captures the wilderness in a transitional era of modern glacial retreat, providing a detailed record of the shoreline and ice margins as they appeared in the early 21st century.
