2017 Map of Petersburg C-2 NW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this Alaskan coastal landscape, where the boundary between Petersburg Borough and Wrangell City and Borough meets the sea. The map documents a complex archipelago of islands and inlets, including Pocket Island, Hidden Island, and the larger Dry Island. Coastal navigation and overland access are defined by features such as Cosmos Point and the Mallard Slough Trail near Mallard Slough. To the west, Ideal Cove and the northern reaches of Dry Strait provide protected waters, while the expansive Frederick Sound and Le Conte Bay open toward the horizon. This survey provides a precise view of the region's wilderness character and maritime geography as it stood in the early 21st century.
