Geography of Cordova, Alaska
|
 |
| Diversity... |
The
Cordova area is geographically diverse. The area east of Cordova is
dominated by the huge Bering Glacier. The non-glaciated area is either
mountainous or largely wetland. Immediately east of Cordova is the
Copper River with its large delta, famous as a waterfowl stopping over
area. West of Cordova the Gulf Coast opens into Prince William Sound
with its many islands and waterways.
The
sound is somewhat protected from the open ocean by Montague and
Hinchinbrook islands. The islands are generally hilly or mountainous
and heavily forested with large "muskeg" openings.
