Available maps for Chugach AK.

[lawsonium]

Hi there,

 

Not only new to this forum but new to the North West (kind of :-)

 

I am traveling to Alaska this weekend for another two week stay with friends in Girdwood. I plan to do as much climbing/mountaineering in the area as possible during my stay.

I have done some stuff in the Crow Pass area during my last summer visit but hope to do quite a bit more this time.

 

My question relates to mapping.

 

I already own the 'Anchorage & Vicinity - Road and Recreation Map' published by Todd Communications. This map works to a scale of 1" = 1mile. My question is, are there better, more detailed maps available for this area?

Here in the UK we use Ordinance Survey maps that are scaled as 1:25,000 and are very detailed. I'm hoping I can get hold of something similar for the Chugach Range around Girdwood.

 

Kindest Regards,

 

Matt
