2017 Map of Port Alexander B-1 NW

About this map

Tongass National Forest covers much of the shoreline and mountainous interior of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the land meets the open waters of the Gulf of Alaska. The map reveals a complex network of maritime passages and sheltered waters, including the Explorer Basin and the narrow Heliantus Passage that winds between small island groups. Prominent summits such as North Mtn and White Mtn define the topography of the peninsula, rising sharply from the saltwater's edge. The coastline is punctuated by notable landmarks such as Troller Point and Swaine Point, while several archipelagoes, including the Windfall Islands and Troller Islands, dot the surrounding sea. This 2017 survey illustrates the intricate relationship between the deep channels of Chatham Strait and the sheltered inlets of Tebenkof Bay, providing a precise look at the navigational and geographical features of this maritime wilderness.
