1986 Map of Juneau B-2 SW

About this map

The Gastineau Channel and Fritz Cove define this mid-1980s coastal landscape, where the tidal flats of the Mendenhall Wetlands State Game Refuge meet the aviation infrastructure of the Juneau International Airport. The survey details the complex interaction of land and water around the Mendenhall Peninsula, separating Auke Bay from the inner waterways. Extensive forest lands of the Tongass National Forest dominate the interior of Douglas Island, which is marked by high points like Mount Ben Stewart and Saddle Mountain. A network of coastal drainages, including Fish Creek and Peterson Creek, flow through the island terrain toward Stephens Passage. The map also captures several small islands and hazards, such as Battleship Island and Battleship Reef, which are critical for navigating these Alaskan waters.
