1986 Map of Juneau B-3 NE

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape north of Juneau, where the rugged shoreline of the Favorite Channel meets the steep slopes of Auke Mountain. Small settlements and landings like Dotsons Landing and Fairhaven appear alongside established recreation sites such as the Lena Beach Recreation Area. Notable landmarks including the Shrine of St Terese and the secondary Shrine to the south indicate the spiritual and cultural imprint on this wilderness edge. The shoreline is defined by a series of protected coves and harbors, from Amalga Harbor and Huffman Harbor in the north to Tee Harbor and the wide reach of Auke Bay in the south. Inland, the map details a network of drainages including Peterson Creek and Montana Creek that feed into the saltwater, reflecting a geography where transportation was historically tethered to the water and coastal routes like The Breadline.
