2017 Map of Petersburg B-1 SE

About this map

The Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal Alaskan landscape, where steep maritime slopes meet the intricate waterways of the Alexander Archipelago. This 2017 study illustrates a network of primitive access routes and seasonal drainages, most notably the Long Lake Trail and Aaron Creek Trail, which provide passage through the dense forest towards the interior peaks. The coastline is defined by protected inlets and navigational passages such as The Narrows, Blake Channel, and Berg Bay. High-altitude water bodies like Highbush Lake and Long Lake feed the glacial streams that carve through the wilderness, including Fools Cr and Earl West Cr. The map captures the specialized geography of the region, from the tidewater flats of Earl West Marsh to the isolated Neptune Island, reflecting a landscape primarily managed for conservation and wilderness recreation.
