2015 Map of Juneau B-5 NE

About this map

Excursion Inlet serves as a critical maritime corridor in this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the waters of the Gulf of Alaska reach deep into the mountainous terrain. The settlement of Excursion Inlet is a key focal point, supported by the Excursion Inlet Seaplane Base, which provides essential air connectivity for this isolated community. This 2015 survey illustrates the complex jurisdictional boundaries of the region, specifically the Haines Borough Hoonah-Angoon Census Area line. Large-scale federal land management is evident, as the map captures the meeting point of Glacier Bay National Park and the Tongass National Forest. The transition from the protected wilderness of the national park to the managed forest lands defines the local geography, highlighting the region's reliance on both maritime and aviation infrastructure for transport and industry.
