2018 Map of Dixon Entrance D-5 SW

About this map

Forrester Island dominates this 2018 survey of the outer reaches of the Alexander Archipelago, an area primarily defined by its protective environmental status. This isolated landmass, set within the Gulf of Alaska, is managed under the overlapping jurisdictions of the Tongass National Forest and the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge. The map provides specific detail on coastal inlets such as Eagle Harbor and Wood Cove, alongside smaller outcroppings like Lowrie Island, Sea Lion Rock, and Petrel Island. The lack of human infrastructure or roads reflects the region's role as a critical habitat for seabirds and marine mammals, with only Butler Rock and other rocky features punctuating the shoreline of this remote maritime preserve.
