2018 Map of Blying Sound D-3 SE

About this map

Jeanie Peak and Stair Mtn dominate the coastal topography of Montague Island's southwestern tip in this 2018 survey. The landscape is defined by the steep elevation changes typical of the Chugach National Forest, where high ridges descend sharply toward the Gulf of Alaska. Navigational landmarks such as Point Bryant and Cape Cleare define the western shoreline, framing the sheltered waters of San Juan Bay. To the east, the drainage of Deception Cr cuts through the forest towards the coast. This map documents a protected wilderness environment within the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, where the absence of roads or permanent settlements highlights the area's preservation as a maritime habitat and natural coastal boundary.
