2021 Map of Prince Rupert D-2 NE

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal Alaskan landscape where the international border separates the United States from Canada along the deep waters of Pearse Canal. The terrain is defined by the steep elevations of the Peabody Mountains and the dramatic drop of Gétukti Cliff, falling toward the tidewaters. This 2021 update documents the intricate shoreline and drainage patterns of the Hidden Inlet area, including the significant freshwater reservoir of Hidden Inlet Lake. The map reveals a land almost entirely under federal management, where the absence of roads or permanent settlements highlights the wilderness character of the Ketchikan Gateway Borough. The maritime boundary in the canal underscores the region's strategic position at the southern edge of Alaska's Panhandle, providing a precise record of the natural coastline and topographic relief as it exists today.
