Gulf of Alaska Map
The Gulf of Alaska is a gulf bordered by the United States. This map shows the Gulf of Alaska highlighted in blue on shaded relief, with the surrounding coasts, rivers, borders and major cities.
How to read this map
Countries with a coast on the Gulf of Alaska: the United States.
The blue outline marks the Gulf of Alaska as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Anchorage.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of the Gulf of Alaska come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where the Gulf of Alaska is, not a surveyed boundary.
