2017 Map of Port Alexander D-3 SW

About this map

Benzeman Lake and Politofski Lake sit within the vast maritime wilderness of Baranof Island during this recent survey. Managed as part of the Tongass National Forest, the terrain is defined by the steep, coastal mountains of the Alexander Archipelago. The southwest corner of the map meets the open waters of the Gulf of Alaska, illustrating the direct relationship between the high alpine interior and the North Pacific shoreline. This 2017 edition provides a precise look at the township and range lines, including t58s r66e and t59s r67e, which overlay a landscape of undisturbed muskeg and steep contour gradients. The lack of roads or established settlements emphasizes the character of this region as one of the most secluded coastal environments in the Sitka City and Borough area.
