2017 Map of Petersburg A-1 SW

About this map

Mt Etolin anchors the high terrain of central Etolin Island, a significant landmass within the Alexander Archipelago of Southeast Alaska. This 2017 survey details the complex maritime interface of the Tongass National Forest, where steep ridgelines like Mt Shakes drop sharply into the coastal waters of the Gulf of Alaska. The map illustrates the intricate waterways essential for local navigation and ecology, including Menefee Inlet and the narrow Canoe Passage separating the main island from Brownson Island. Small drainage systems like Trout Cr and named coastal landmarks such as Menefee Point and Fisherman Chuck provide precise reference points for maritime history and environmental study within this protected wilderness area.
