2017 Map of Juneau A-3 SW

About this map

Chichagof Island dominates the southwestern corner of this survey, where the dense coastal woodlands of the Tongass National Forest meet the maritime crossroads of Southeast Alaska. This maritime landscape is defined by the convergence of major waterways, including Chatham Strait and Icy Strait, which wrap around the prominent geographic marker of Point Augusta. The map provides a high-resolution look at the shoreline topography and bathymetry where the island's interior reaches the northern extent of the Gulf of Alaska. Navigators and maritime historians can trace the precise contours of this rugged coastline at a moment when the wilderness of the Tongass remained largely untouched by major development.
