2021 Map of Port Alexander A-1 SW

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Mt McArthur dominates the coastal topography of this maritime wilderness within the Tongass National Forest. The map documents the western shoreline of a larger landmass where the forest meets the expansive waters of Chatham Strait. The shoreline is punctuated by prominent landforms such as Point Crowley and Point Howard, which shelter small coastal indentations like Crowley Bight and Howard Cove. This 2021 survey utilizes modern high-resolution elevation data to trace the sharp vertical relief of the terrain, illustrating how the dense wilderness of the Tongass National Forest transitions abruptly into the deep tidal waters of Southeast Alaska. The lack of infrastructure highlights the preserved, undeveloped nature of the region, where navigation is dictated by the rugged contours of the coast and the relative safety of named coves and bights.
