2021 Map of Port Alexander C-1 SW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal Alaska landscape, characterized by an intricate network of islands and deep inlets. The western reaches of the quadrangle are defined by Point Ellis, a prominent headland jutting into the Pacific waters. To the north, the Bay of Pillars is dotted with numerous small islands and islets, illustrating the fractured geography of the Alexander Archipelago. Inland, the terrain rises sharply from the shoreline, drained by coastal waterways such as Kwatahein Cr. The southern portion of the map opens into the wide expanse of Tebenkof Bay, where the dense timber of the national forest meets the tidal flats. This area represents a wilderness environment where the lack of roads or established settlements underscores the reliance on maritime and natural waterways for navigation and resource access.
