2017 Map of Bradfield Canal B-4 SE

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this Alaskan landscape, where the dramatic elevation change from sea level to over 5,000 feet is recorded through dense contour mapping. The area serves as a significant administrative boundary, showing the zigzagging border between Wrangell Borough and Ketchikan Gateway Borough. In the north, the Blue River cuts through the high-altitude terrain, illustrating the glacial and fluvial processes that continue to shape this portion of the Alexander Archipelago. While the settlement of Wrangell is indicated at the borough juncture, the map primarily illustrates the wild, roadless character of the Southeast Alaskan panhandle, emphasizing the region's reliance on natural waterways and air travel rather than a terrestrial road network.
