2024 Map of Sitka A-1 SW

About this map

Gulf of Alaska waters dominate this maritime survey, illustrating the vast open reaches and island fringes where the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area meets the Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area. The landforms captured are primarily coastal outcroppings, including the southern edge of Admiralty Island and the scattered Galankin Islands. The map provides a precise layout of the Public Land Survey System for the Alaskan wilderness, specifically tracking t55s r70e and t56s r71e. Because this area is dominated by open water and uninhabited island terrain, the map serves as a vital record of nautical boundaries and administrative census lines in a region defined by its lack of roads and permanent settlements.
