2017 Map of Craig B-4 NW

About this map

San Juan Bautista Island dominates this coastal survey within the Tongass National Forest, rising to its highest point at Bautista Peak. This maritime landscape in Southeast Alaska is defined by a complex network of waterways, including San Alberto Bay and the Ursua Channel, which separate the major landmasses from the western edge of San Fernando Island. The map records numerous coastal landmarks with Spanish nomenclature, such as Punta de los Almos, Punta Palmito, and Point Milliflores, reflecting the region's early navigational history. To the north and east, several hazards and small landforms emerge from the sea, including the Balandra Shoal, the Ballena Islands, and the distinct Shaft Rock. This 2017 edition provides a precise view of the shorelines and topography of the Alexander Archipelago before the natural landscape underwent further change.
