2021 Map of Port Alexander C-4 NE

About this map

Baranof Island serves as the focal point for this survey, dominated by the expansive Tongass National Forest. The coastal geography is defined by a series of deep inlets and protected waterways, including the prominent Necker Bay and the smaller Secluded Bay to the north. These features illustrate the complex maritime landscape of Sitka, where the land is deeply indented by glacial or tectonic activity. Further south, the map identifies Dorothy Cove and the Small Arm inlet, while the Makhnati Islands sit just offshore. This survey captures a region primarily managed for its natural resources, showing the intricate relationship between the mountainous terrain of the national forest and the saltwater channels that provide the only practical access to much of this isolated shoreline.
