2021 Map of Dixon Entrance C-1 NE

About this map

Nichols Bay carves deeply into the southern tip of the Alexander Archipelago in this maritime survey, where the terrestrial wilderness of the Tongass National Forest meets the open Pacific waters. The coastline is defined by sharp topographic transitions, from the sheer face of Huaji Cliff to the prominent heights of Intunidli Hill and Intun Cone. This area serves as a critical nautical gateway, marking the confluence of Clarence Strait and the Dixon Entrance international waterway. The map captures a landscape almost entirely defined by its shoreline features, including isolated landforms like Bean Island and navigational landmarks such as Point Nunez and Cape Chacon. The lack of inland development emphasizes the maritime nature of this southern Alaskan boundary, where the forest gives way to the sea at Surf Point and Brown Bear Rock.
