About this map

Chugach National Forest encompasses this glacial landscape, where massive ice formations define the local geography. The massive Columbia Glacier and Ted Stevens Icefield dominate the northern terrain, while the Shoup Glacier and Anderson Glacier carve through the southern sections. This survey provides a precise record of these ice fields and the high peaks that separate them, including Mt Cameron and the strategic Anderson Pass. To the south, the coastline meets Prince William Sound, where several drainage systems like Big Cr and Palmer Cr empty into the saltwater. The presence of Lake Number One and the Westbrook Glacier further illustrates the complex hydrological system of this unorganized borough of Alaska. These features reflect the area's geological character, where high-altitude ice fields and tidal waters converge within a protected national forest.
