2021 Map of Petersburg C-5 NE

About this map

Tongass National Forest covers the vast majority of this landscape on Kupreanof Island, characterized by a complex network of waterways and timberlands. The coastal boundary along Keku Strait defines the western edge of the quadrangle, where the tidal influence meets the mouths of Keku Cr and Burchard Cr. This 2021 survey illustrates the modern administrative lines of the Petersburg Borough Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area, showing how civil boundaries are positioned across the wilderness. Inland, the Castle River winds through the interior forest, while the Keku Trail provides one of the few established overland routes through the drainage systems of t59s r76e and the surrounding townships. The map is a detailed record of the hydrological patterns and elevation contours that dictate movement through this southeastern Alaska territory.
