2024 Map of Petersburg D-1 NW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this topographic landscape, where the high-altitude terrain of southeast Alaska is mapped with modern precision. The map illustrates a section of the Stikine-Leconte Wilderness, showing the complex contour lines of the coastal mountains. A significant political boundary bisects the area, marking the transition between Petersburg Borough and Wrangell Borough. Near the southern edge of the sheet, the northern reaches of Wrangell appear, providing a vital geographic link between the wilderness interior and the coastal community. The layout reveals how the dramatic elevation changes and land management boundaries define the region's character, highlighting the interplay between protected federal lands and local borough jurisdictions.
