2017 Map of Petersburg D-6 SW

About this map

Keku Strait and the northern reaches of Port Camden dominate this coastal survey of the Alexander Archipelago. This portion of the Tongass National Forest is characterized by a complex network of islands and tidal inlets, including the southern shores of Kupreanof Island. The map records distinct maritime landmarks such as Point Camden and Salt Point, which frame the entrance to Dakaneek Bay. These waters, part of the Gulf of Alaska, are dotted with smaller landforms like Hound Island, Hare Island, and Clark Island. The topography consists of heavily forested, steep-sided ridges that rise sharply from the shoreline, particularly around the protected waters of Gil Harbor. This 2017 edition provides a precise look at the wilderness coastline and forest boundaries before more recent changes to federal land management in the region.
