2021 Map of Port Alexander C-1 NW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates the terrain of this coastal quadrangle, where the deep waters of Rowan Bay and Upper Rowan Bay cut into the densely timbered landscape. The area shows evidence of human activity and resource management with the presence of Behind Camp situated along the northern shore of the bay. Navigation and movement through this wilderness are marked by the Kuiu Connection, a route that links the bay area to the interior of the island. The coastal profile is defined by intricate inlets and named points such as Upper Pillar Bay and the evocative Lost Men along the eastern shoreline. This 2021 update preserves the contemporary status of these forest lands and maritime features, illustrating the isolation and specialized land use typical of the Alaska Panhandle's southern reaches.
