2017 Map of Port Alexander D-2 SW
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
The Gulf of Alaska dominates this 2017 survey, meeting the rugged shoreline of Baranof Island along the map's western edge. This coastal interface is part of the expansive Tongass National Forest, where the terrain rises sharply from the sea into the temperate rainforest. The map details the mouth of Hoggatt Bay, providing a clear view of the complex hydrography and nautical approaches to this portion of the Alexander Archipelago. Political and administrative boundaries are a primary focus, illustrating the convergence of the Sitka Borough, the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area, and the Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area across the open water and forest lands. These jurisdictional lines reflect the complicated management of Alaska's maritime and wilderness regions.
