2017 Map of Port Alexander B-1 NE
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape along the western reaches of Kuiu Island, where the complex shoreline of Southeast Alaska meets the Gulf of Alaska. The map reveals a highly fragmented maritime geography characterized by deep inlets and protected harbors. Notable maritime features such as Orel Anchorage and Happy Cove suggest a history of coastal navigation and seasonal refuge for vessels navigating these waters. The terrain is marked by prominent coastal markers like Elena Point and Gap Point, while numerous smaller landforms like Step Island, East Island, and the hazard of Oyster Rock define the local nautical environment. This coastal topography, including Elena Bay and Petrof Bay, illustrates the glaciated coastline's influence on natural harbor formation within the Alexander Archipelago.
