2017 Map of Mount Fairweather A-1 NE

About this map

Chichagof Island and the sprawling expanse of the Tongass National Forest dominate this maritime landscape along the northern Pacific coast. The geography is defined by a complex network of waterways, including the open waters of the Gulf of Alaska and the protected channels of the Icy Strait and South Passage. Coastal features such as Gull Cove, Goose Island, and Quartz Point highlight the intricate shoreline, where the land meets the sea in a series of inlets and promontories like Mud Bay. A marked Ferry Route cutting across the northern straits signifies the vital role of waterborne transit in this roadless wilderness. The map details a largely undeveloped environment, where the federal protections of the TNF preserve the wilderness character of the Alexander Archipelago's northern reaches.
