2021 Map of Port Alexander B-2 SW

About this map

Baranof Island serves as the backdrop for this coastal study within the Tongass National Forest. The map details the intricate shoreline where the Pacific meets the southeastern edge of the island, highlighting small settlements like Port Alexander and Port Armstrong that define the region's human geography. These outposts are joined by a series of maritime landmarks, including Point Conclusion and Point Eliza, which have long served as navigational aids for those traversing the local waters. The interplay between the shoreline and the interior is marked by numerous indentations such as Port Lucy and Miner Cove. This 2021 survey also documents the administrative boundary between the Sitka City and Borough and the Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area, showing how modern jurisdictional lines intersect with the complex geography of the Alexander Archipelago.
