Explore Moose Pass, Alaska, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Moose Pass, Alaska. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Alaska or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Moose Pass.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Moose Pass emerges from the dense, coniferous shadows of the Chugach National Forest where the landscape is defined by the steady, unyielding current of Trail Creek. It lies 53.6 miles south-southeast of Anchorage, AK (from Anchorage, AK: bearing 160°T), and is situated 26.6 miles north of Seward. The water moves with a cold, glassy clarity, carving a path through the valley floor toward the basin of Upper Trail Lake. Distant ridges of the Kenai Mountains frame the horizon in jagged, slate-colored silhouettes, their peaks often obscured by the low-hanging, moisture-heavy clouds that characterize the subarctic climate. The air here holds a sharp, clean weight, smelling of damp earth and crushed spruce needles, while the light at dusk flattens against the slopes, turning the vast expanse into a study of deep greens and shifting grays.
Gold seekers first carved a presence into this rugged interior, leaving behind a legacy of resilience that still informs the quiet, deliberate pace of life in Moose Pass. Today, the economy relies on a blend of small-scale land stewardship and a seasonal influx of travelers drawn by the proximity of the Grant Lake Trail, which winds through the wilderness beyond the immediate settlement. While the presence of the distant Mother Goose Glacier serves as a silent reminder of the region's glacial origins, the daily rhythm remains tied to the land’s seasonal cycles rather than the rush of modern industry. Life here is measured by the changing intensity of the light and the slow, heavy movement of the seasons, maintaining a character that is as solitary and enduring as the forest itself.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
