2021 Map of Juneau C-4 NW

About this map

Tongass National Forest covers the majority of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the slopes of the Saint Elias Mountains meet the waters of Lynn Canal. This map illustrates a transition from the high peaks of the interior down to the shoreline, marked by steep elevation changes and drainage basins like the one formed by William Henry Cr. The coastal topography is defined by prominent landmarks such as Lance Point and Danger Point, which frame the protected waters of William Henry Bay. Further south, the Beardslee River reaches the coast, cutting through the dense forest. The absence of roads or permanent settlements highlights the wilderness character of the Haines Borough region, where geographic features serve as the primary navigational markers for the maritime and mountaineering activities common to this part of Southeast Alaska.
