2021 Map of Juneau C-3 SW

About this map

Favorite Channel serves as the dominant waterway in this maritime environment, separating the mainland of the Tongass National Forest from a series of prominent islands. To the east, the steep slopes of the Coast Mountains rise sharply from the shoreline, drained by waterways such as S Fork Cowee Cr, Bessie Cr, and Bridget Cove. This 2021 survey details the intricate coastline where the mainland meets the sea at Yankee Cove, providing clear bathymetric and topographic context for the numerous hazards and landmarks in these coastal waters. A cluster of significant islands, including North Island, Benjamin Island, Sentinel Island, and Lincoln Island, are positioned within the channel. Further offshore, Poundstone Rock and Gull Island indicate the navigational complexities of this passage within the northern reaches of the Alaskan Panhandle.
