2021 Map of Mount Fairweather A-2 SE

About this map

Lisianski Inlet and Lisianski Strait carve through the coastal wilderness within the Tongass National Forest, separating the larger landmasses of Chichagof Island and Yakobi Island. This maritime landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, where steep summits like Mt Althorp and Vein Mtn rise sharply from the water's edge. The complex coastline is dotted with sheltered features such as Soapstone Cove and Mite Cove, alongside prominent landmarks including Column Point and False Point. Navigation and topography are intertwined here, as seen in the presence of small outcroppings like Mite Island and Miner Island that sit within the tidal passages. This survey details the natural geography of the Alexander Archipelago, where the absence of roads emphasizes the region's reliance on water and air for access between the coastal peaks and the deep inlets.
