2017 Map of Dixon Entrance C-1 NW

About this map

Nichols Mtn rises above the complex southern coastline of Prince of Wales Island in this 2017 survey of the Tongass National Forest. The landscape is defined by the deep indentations of Brownson Bay and the narrow passage of Minnie Cutoff, illustrating the maritime nature of the Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area. To the south, the map transitions from the forested slopes and inland waters like Nichols Lake into the open expanse of the Dixon Entrance, where the land ends at distinctive features such as The Haystack and White Rocks. This topographic study provides a detailed view of the interaction between the Gulf of Alaska and the intricate coastal geography of Southeast Alaska before it meets the Pacific Ocean.
