2017 Map of Bradfield Canal A-5 SW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal Alaskan landscape, where glacial waters carve deep into the wilderness. The terrain is defined by a series of significant inland water bodies, including the expansive Reflection Lake and the smaller Little Eagle Lake. These lakes feed into systems like the Eagle River and Short Cr, eventually draining toward the saltwater of Reflection Bay. The map also captures the administrative boundary between Wrangell Borough and Ketchikan Gateway Borough, illustrating how these remote jurisdictions meet amidst high-elevation peaks and dense forest. Further south, Lake Nellie and Lake Rowena offer additional points of interest for those studying the hydrography of the Bradfield Canal region. This survey serves as a precise record of the natural hydrology and topographical contours of the area before modern shifts in glacial runoff might alter these waterways.
