2024 Map of Petersburg C-2 NW

About this map

Frederick Sound dominates the waterscape of this 2024 survey, serving as a primary maritime corridor through the Alexander Archipelago near Wrangell. This coastal environment is defined by the protected lands of the Stikine-Leconte Wilderness and the Tongass National Forest, which encompass a series of named islands and coastal points. Geodetic markers such as Ideal Cove Tri and Mallard Slough Tri indicate the surveying history of this coastline, while features like Cosmos Point and Ideal Cove suggest the intricate shoreline that has long supported local navigation. The land is largely defined by its administrative boundaries, specifically the line between the Petersburg Borough and Wrangell Borough, which cuts through the sound and across several islands, including Pocket Island. This map illustrates the contemporary state of these federally protected wilderness areas and their relation to the surrounding coastal waters.
