2017 Map of Juneau B-6 SW

About this map

Icy Strait dominates this coastal landscape, serving as a critical maritime passage within the Alexander Archipelago. To the north, the protected waters reach the southern boundary of Glacier Bay National Park, while the rugged shoreline of Chichagof Island rises in the southeast. This portion of the island is situated within the Tongass National Forest, illustrating the immense scale of federal land management in Southeast Alaska. The lack of settlements or roads emphasizes the maritime character of the region, where the strait is the primary corridor for transit between the Pacific and the internal waterways of the Panhandle. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of these two massive protected wilderness areas as they were defined in 2017.
