2017 Map of Craig D-1 SW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal survey, which documents the intricate maritime geography of the Alexander Archipelago. The map reveals a landscape defined by isolated landforms and navigational hazards, from the southern reaches of Eagle Island and the Muffin Islands in the north to the treacherous McHenry Ledge and Lemly Rocks that break the waters of the Clarence Strait. The rugged coastlines of the islands are dotted with significant topographical markers such as Onslow Point and Magnetic Point, reflecting the maritime importance of this region. Inland, the map traces small watercourses like Cannery Creek as they drain into Union Bay, illustrating the connection between the forested interior and the surrounding Gulf of Alaska. This 2017 edition provides an exact record of shoreline positions and designated forest lands prior to further environmental or jurisdictional shifts in Southeast Alaska.
