Prince William Sound dominates this coastal landscape, where the maritime waters of Port Valdez and Jack Bay carve deep into the mountainous terrain of the Chugach National Forest. The map documents the critical maritime transit routes of the Alaska Marine Hwy as they navigate through the sound, passing prominent coastal features like Entrance Island and the secluded Anderson Bay. The intricate shoreline is further defined by natural landmarks such as Sawmill Split and the mouth of Shoup Cr. This survey illustrates the relationship between the protected federal forest lands and the essential water-based transportation network that links these isolated Alaskan reaches. The topographical detail reveals the steep elevations immediately rising from the water's edge, typical of the fjords in this region.
