2017 Map of Port Alexander C-2 NE
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
Kuiu Island dominates the eastern shoreline of this coastal survey, where the dense wilderness of the Tongass National Forest meets the open waters of the Gulf of Alaska. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, with steep ridges rising sharply from the sea. Notable coastal features include the sheltered inlet of Washington Bay and the prominent southern headland of Point Sullivan. These topographical details provide a record of the remote maritime environment in the early 21st century, illustrating the transition from the protected forest interior to the exposed rocky coastline. The map also delineates the administrative boundary for the Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area Sitka Borough, marking a jurisdictional line through the open sea.
