2024 Map of Petersburg D-2 SE

About this map

Le Conte Bay dominates the center of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the waters of the inside passage meet the steep rising terrain of the mainland. The area is defined by massive protected tracts, including the Stikine-Leconte Wilderness and the Tongass National Forest, illustrating the state's commitment to preserving its maritime and alpine ecosystems. Significant landmarks such as Simpson Peak provide high-elevation points of reference for navigators and surveyors, while Thunder Point and Timber Point mark the winding shoreline of the bay. The map also delineates the administrative boundary between Petersburg Borough and Wrangell Borough, which cuts across the southern portion of the sheet near the settlement of Wrangell. This modern survey provides a clear view of the glacial-carved topography and current jurisdictional lines in a region where the forest meets the sea.
