2021 Map of Petersburg C-2 SW

About this map

Mitkof Island dominates this southeastern Alaska landscape, defined by high summits like Manzanita Peak and Sam Peak that rise sharply from the coastline. The Mitkof Highway traces the western shore of the island, following the contours of the Sumner Strait. This area is entirely contained within the Tongass National Forest, illustrating the vast protected wilderness of the Alexander Archipelago. Numerous smaller landforms and tidal islands, including Sokolof Island and the Wilson Islands, dot the surrounding waters of Dry Strait, reflecting a complex marine environment where navigation depends heavily on the shifting geography of the passage. The boundary line running through the straits marks the division between Petersburg Borough and the Wrangell City and Borough, showing the administrative limits within this island-heavy terrain.
