2021 Map of Bradfield Canal A-6 SW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal Alaska landscape, where the rugged terrain of the Alexander Archipelago meets the tidal waters of the Seward Passage. This 2021 survey shows a complex network of freshwater systems and maritime features along the western edge of the Bradfield Canal region. Inland, the map documents several distinct water bodies, including the aptly named Golden Pond, Boulder Lake, and Standing Rock Lake. The coastline is defined by the deep indentations of Frosty Bay and the presence of Deer Island just offshore. The drainages of Frosty Cr, Anan Cr, and Walker Cr emphasize the steep relief and hydrological patterns of this wilderness area, while administrative boundaries for the Wrangell City and Borough Ketchikan Gateway Borough cross through the high-elevation terrain.
