2015 Map of Juneau A-6 NE

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape, where the steep, forested slopes of the Alexander Archipelago meet the cold waters of the Gulf of Alaska. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably along the prominent Chedu Ridge which overlooks a network of drainages including Chicken Cr and Gallagher Cr. Human activity is sparse in this 2015 survey, marked primarily by the Westport - Neka route which provides access through the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. The map reveals the intricate hydrologic pattern of the region, where seasonal flow and permanent streams like the Neka River carve through the temperate rainforest. This document is a clear record of the area's geography before significant development, highlighting the untouched wilderness character typical of the Southeast Alaskan panhandle.
