2017 Map of Port Alexander C-3 NE

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape on Baranof Island, where the terrain rises sharply from the Gulf of Alaska. The prominent indentation of Gut Bay serves as a central geographic feature, nearly bisecting the island's eastern coastline in this sector. Interior peaks such as Mt Ada and Mt Yanovski define the high ridgelines, which are separated by deep-set glacial lakes including Yermak Lake, Parry Lake, and Brentwood Lake. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a primitive wilderness devoid of modern roads or settlements, highlighting the complex hydrography and steep elevation gradients characteristic of Southeast Alaska. The map provides a precise look at the natural boundaries between dense forest and the exposed rock of the high summits.
