2021 Map of Port Alexander C-4 OE W NE

About this map

Tongass National Forest extends across the northeastern corner of this coastal survey, where a scattered archipelago of small landmasses meets the open ocean. This maritime landscape is defined by the Necker Islands and smaller outcrops like Rachek Island and Biali Rock, which serve as the final landmarks before the seafloor drops into the vast Gulf of Alaska. The map's focus is almost entirely on this transition from protected forest islands to the deep water, providing a precise record of the shoreline and coastal hazards such as North Rock. Within the administrative boundaries of Sitka, the sheet illustrates the relationship between the remote Alaskan wilderness and the sea-lanes that have historically connected this region’s coastal outposts.
