2017 Map of Craig A-2 SE

About this map

Klakas Inlet cuts a deep path through the interior of Prince of Wales Island, anchoring a landscape within the Tongass National Forest. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring wild character of the Alexander Archipelago, where the land is defined by steep contour lines and complex coastal indentations rather than human infrastructure. The map follows the long, narrow corridor of the inlet as it reaches toward the freshwater Klakas Lake in the south, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of the coastal rainforest. To the west, the headwaters of Keete Inlet mark the transition toward the open Pacific Ocean. This map is particularly valuable for those studying the topography of southeastern Alaska, showing the exact relationship between deep-water fjords and the densely forested ridges that characterize the region.
