2017 Map of Petersburg B-4 SE

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates the landmasses of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the waters of the Clarence Strait meet the open Gulf of Alaska. The map highlights a significant maritime crossroads, marking the intersection of the Petersburg Borough, Wrangell Borough, and Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area. The rugged shoreline of Zarembo Island is clearly defined by landmarks such as Wrangell and Macnamara Point, while smaller outcrops like the Rookery Islands, Round Island, and Tide Island dot the marine passages. Navigational features including the Ossipee Channel near Bushy Island provide essential context for understanding the historic and modern waterways used by local fishing and transport vessels. To the west, the eastern edge of Prince of Wales Island anchors the coastal survey, illustrating the complex island-and-strait geography of the Alexander Archipelago.
