About this map

Mitkof Island is defined by a landscape of steep ridges and tidal waters within the Tongass National Forest. The geography is anchored by substantial elevations such as E Sumner Mountain and S Sumner Mountain, with Sumner Pass providing a natural corridor through the heights. To the east, the island meets the Sumner Strait, while the interior is carved by the Blind River and the complex tidal basin of Blind Slough.

Infrastructure is concentrated along the Mitkof Highway, which serves as the primary artery connecting the coast to the interior. Branching from the main route, access into the wilderness is provided by Three Lakes Loop and Woodpecker Road, alongside a network of trails including the Ohmer Creek Trail. The map also illustrates the borough boundary separating Petersburg Borough and Wrangell Borough, tracing a line across the open water of the strait.
