2024 Map of Petersburg D-2 SW

About this map

Frederick Sound defines the southern and western margins of this coastal Alaska landscape, where the tides meet a dramatic vertical rise. The interior is dominated by the steep peaks and glacial drainages of the Tongass National Forest, including the protected Stikine-Leconte Wilderness. High-elevation landmarks like Thunder Mtn and the striking Horn Cliffs overlook the intricate drainage networks of Moonshine Creek and Bussy Creek. Settlement is virtually non-existent here, with human presence marked primarily by the Muddy River Trl following the course of the Muddy River through the northern valley. This modern survey reflects the enduring wild character of the Petersburg Borough, where maritime channels and mountainous terrain remain the primary geographic features.
