2017 Map of Juneau A-2 NW

About this map

The Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape along the Gulf of Alaska, revealing a wilderness of steep contours and maritime landmarks. The shoreline is defined by prominent features such as Middle Point, Inner Point, and Point Hilda, which frame the entrance to protected waters. Inland, the map details the rugged passage from Admiralty Cove into the interior, specifically tracing the Admiralty Cove to N. Young Lk route. This path follows the drainage of Admiralty Cr, providing a critical link between the coast and the forested highlands. To the west, the isolated Scull Island sits in the open gulf, while Young Bay and Young Beach offer more sheltered coastal terrain. The map's focus on these specific points and portages underscores the importance of coastal navigation and established wilderness trails in the Juneau area.
