2017 Map of Port Alexander D-4 NW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape on Baranof Island, where the steep topography of the Alexander Archipelago meets the complex waterways of Sitka Sound. The map reveals a heavily glaciated terrain defined by dramatic peaks such as The Pyramids and Mt Dranishnikof, which tower over the deep fjord of Deep Inlet. This 2017 data highlights the intricate relationship between the mountain runoff and the coastal ecosystem, tracing the paths of the Dranishnikov River and Kizhuchia Creek as they feed into protected waters like Redoubt Lake and Redoubt Bay. Access to this wilderness is limited, with the Kizhuchia Creek Road and Kizhuchia Spur N providing rare terrestrial corridors through the dense forest and around the jagged shoreline of Kidney Cove and Sandy Cove.
