2017 Map of Craig A-1 SE

About this map

Prince of Wales Island and the intricate maritime landscape of Southeast Alaska dominate this 2017 survey, characterized by deep-water inlets and a complex archipelago within the Tongass National Forest. The map centers on the historical activity around Niblack Anchorage and the nearby Niblack Lake, tracing a rugged coastline defined by protected harbors like Cannery Cove and Menefee Anchorage. These names suggest a legacy of maritime industry and refuge along the Moira Sound. Further inland, the hydrology includes Myrtle Lake and Myrtle Cr, while the shoreline is dotted with navigational landmarks such as Point Halliday, Point Jansen, and Crowell Point. The presence of the Egg Islands and Moira Island in the Pacific Ocean waters highlights the fragmented terrain of the Alexander Archipelago, where the connection between land and sea remains the defining geographic feature for those navigating these coastal waters.
