2024 Map of Petersburg C-2 SW

About this map

Mitkof Island and the surrounding Alexander Archipelago waterways dominate this modern landscape, defined by the boundaries of the Tongass National Forest and the Stikine-Leconte Wilderness. The geography is characterized by high coastal peaks including Manzanita Peak and Favor Peak, which rise above the interconnected channels of Dry Strait and Sumner Strait. Transportation is concentrated along the Mitkof Highway on the eastern shore of the island, terminating near Blaquiere Point. The map illustrates the complex island network of the region, detailing named landmasses such as Wrangell, Rynda Island, and Sokolof Island. This area serves as a primary corridor for maritime navigation and coastal access, where the borough boundary between Petersburg Borough and Wrangell Borough bisects the straits and islands, marking a modern jurisdictional divide in the southeast Alaskan wilderness.
