About this map

Mitkof Island serves as the focal point for this Southeast Alaska coastal study, revealing the complex waterways of the Alexander Archipelago. The landscape is defined by the Tongass National Forest and the Stikine-Leconte Wilderness, where tidal flats and sloughs like Knig Slough and Dry Strait create a shifting boundary between land and sea. The Mitkof Highway provides the primary overland connection, leading to the Ernie Haugen Public Use Area and a boat ramp that serves as a critical access point for the region's marine-dependent economy. Surrounding islands, including Rynda Island, Sokolof Island, and Greys Island, are documented alongside various peaks such as Manzanita Peak and Favor Peak. This provisional record highlights the navigational hazards and landmarks essential for local transit through the Sumner Strait during the early 1990s.
