2017 Map of Port Alexander B-1 SW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape along the Gulf of Alaska, where the shoreline is deeply incised by protected waters and prominent headlands. Navigation and coastal geography are the primary focus of this survey, which charts the rugged interface between mountainous terrain and the sea. Notable maritime landmarks include Point Cosmos to the north and Point Harris to the south, both of which frame a series of inlets including Harris Cove and Gedney Harbor. Inland, the topographic relief is defined by Green Mtn, which rises steeply above the timbered slopes of the national forest. The complex coastline continues into Port Malmesbury, a deep inlet that provides a natural corridor into the island's interior. This 2017 edition represents the modern state of these remote waterways, detailing the precise contours and hydrography of the Alaskan panhandle.
