2021 Map of Bradfield Canal A-4 NE

About this map

The Coast Mountains dominate the high-altitude landscape of this 2021 study, where steep ridgelines descend into the deep glacial valleys of the Tongass National Forest. This southeastern Alaskan territory is defined by its dramatic relief and significant water features, most notably Spur Mountain Lake and the Eulachon River, which drains the western slopes. The map also delineates the administrative boundary between the Wrangell City and Borough and the Ketchikan Gateway Borough, illustrating how modern municipal lines are often drawn across some of the most remote and undeveloped terrain in the United States. While the area lacks permanent settlements, the detailed contouring provides an essential record of the hydrology and topography near Spur Mtn as it appeared in the early 21st century.
