2021 Map of Juneau A-4 NW

About this map

The Saint Elias Mountains meet the northern waters of Icy Strait in this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the shoreline of the Tongass National Forest is marked by indigenous place names including Lulxágu and Gí-x X'aagá-k'u. This maritime environment is defined by its navigational hazards and small landforms, most notably the island group known as The Sisters and the nearby Sisters Reef. Further south in the strait, Spasski Island and the feature Yaana.eit Xágu stand as isolated points in the open water. The map records the intersection of the Haines Borough and Hoonah-Angoon Census Area, documenting the precise boundary line as it cuts across the maritime passage between the mainland and these offshore islands.
