2021 Map of Craig B-6 SE

About this map

Baker Island stands as the primary landform on this coastal survey, where the terrestrial environment of the Tongass National Forest meets the open waters of the Gulf of Alaska. The map documents a rugged maritime interface characterized by prominent headlands such as Granite Point and the southernmost reach at Cape Chirikof. These features provide critical navigation markers for the surrounding waters, including the exposed Outer Point and the nearby hazard of Arcada Rock. The landscape is defined by the absence of modern infrastructure, preserving a view of the Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area in its natural state. Researchers can observe the intricate shoreline geometry and topographic contours that dictate the wilderness character of this remote Alaskan archipelago, where the forest boundary extends to the very edge of the Pacific.
