Port Alexander sits on the southern tip of Baranof Island, serving as a vital outpost where the coastal forest meets the open Pacific. This 2021 survey illustrates the settlement's relationship with its sheltered harbor, positioned just north of the dramatic headland at Cape Ommaney. The landscape is dominated by the dense timber of the Tongass National Forest, which covers the narrow strip of land between the sea and the boundary of the Sitka borough. Offshore, maritime hazards and landmarks such as Breakfast Rock and Wooden Island define the approach to the port. The map provides a clear view of the cadastral grid, including township markers like t65s r69e, reflecting how this remote Alaskan terrain is organized within the larger Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area.
