2018 Map of Prince Rupert D-2 NW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates the interior of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the steep terrain of the Alexander Archipelago meets the sea. The map centers on Cone Mtn, a prominent peak rising amidst a network of unnamed ridges and glacial valleys. Along the western edge, the coastline is defined by the narrow, sheltered waters of Willard Inlet, while the northern portion of the sheet opens into a broad expanse of the Pacific Ocean. This 2018 survey reveals a wilderness area devoid of modern road networks or settlements, instead emphasizing the natural topography and the intersection of maritime and forest environments within the Ketchikan Gateway region. The intricate contour lines illustrate the sharp elevation changes characteristic of this maritime forest, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns flowing from the high ridges down to the inlets below.
