About this map

Wrangell Narrows separates the settlements of Petersburg on Mitkof Island from the small enclave of Kupreanof across the water. This 1995 revision by the Forest Service highlights a maritime landscape where the Alaska Marine Highway serves as the primary artery for travel and commerce. The map records the local infrastructure of the mid-1990s, including the Petersburg Airport, a local Cem, and a Log Transfer Facility north on the Agassiz Peninsula.

Beyond the developed waterfronts of Scow Bay and Dayhof, the terrain rises toward Petersburg Mountain and the high peaks of the Tongass National Forest. Inland, the map traces the drainage of the Patterson River and Muddy River, alongside protected landscapes within the Stikine-LeConte Wilderness. Remote structures like the Ravens Roost Cabin and Cascade Creek Cabin provide context for forest management and recreation in the Alexander Archipelago.
