2017 Map of Port Alexander D-1 SE

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape on Kuiu Island, where steep terrain and dense maritime forests meet the complex shoreline of Southeast Alaska. The map traces the essential Kuiu Connection, a vital corridor for movement across this portion of the Alexander Archipelago. Along the northern and eastern fringes, the cold waters of Saginaw Bay and Frederick Sound define the geography, while to the south, Kadake Bay and Kadake Creek create a distinct coastal drainage system. Notable landmarks such as Arny's Slide and Ridge Top offer insight into the local nomenclature used by foresters and coastal navigators. This 2017 survey reflects the modern management of these timberlands, highlighting the established network of resource roads and the preservation of coastal watersheds within the nation's largest national forest.
