2021 Map of Craig D-1 NW

About this map

Etolin Island dominates this section of the Alexander Archipelago, characterized by its mountainous interior rising toward Mt Shakes. This 2021 study captures the intricate shoreline of the Tongass National Forest, where steep terrain meets the waters of the Clarence Strait. The topography is defined by high peaks such as Brownson Peak on Brownson Island, which is separated from the larger landmasses by narrow waterways like Canoe Passage. To the south, numerous smaller landforms including Stone Island and the Petersen Islands dot the maritime landscape. The map provides a high-resolution look at the undeveloped wilderness of Southeast Alaska, showing the complex interplay of high-elevation ridgelines and the coastal inlets that define this portion of the archipelago.
