2017 Map of Port Alexander C-3 SE

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape where the steep maritime terrain meets the Gulf Of Alaska. The map documents a complex system of glacially carved fjords and high-elevation freshwater bodies, most notably the deep inlet at Deep Cove and the protected waters of Mist Cove. Interior peaks such as Mt Muravief rise sharply above the shoreline, funneling runoff into drainage systems like the Maksoutof River. This 2017 survey illustrates the intricate hydrography of Baranof Island, from the coastal interface at Patterson Bay to remote alpine features like Upper Brentwood Lake and Banner Lake. The absence of roads or permanent settlements underscores the wilderness character of this region, where geography is defined by deep-water access and high-relief topography typical of Southeast Alaska's archipelago.
