2017 Map of Petersburg A-6 SW

About this map

Tongass National Forest borders the eastern edge of the Gulf of Alaska in this maritime survey. The coastline is defined by the sharp projection of Point Saint Albans, where the land yields to a series of offshore hazards and small islands. The most prominent navigation concern is the Point Saint Albans Reef, a significant geological feature situated just east of the point. The map illustrates the transition from the densely forested coastal fringe of the TNF to the open water, documenting the intricate shoreline and bathymetric risks inherent to this section of the Petersburg Borough coast.
