2021 Map of Sitka A-2 NE

About this map

Tongass National Forest covers this vast expanse of Southeast Alaskan wilderness, where the high ridges of Mt Saffran dominate the southern interior. The landscape is defined by steep glacial topography and an intricate network of drainages that feed into coastal waters. To the east, the map captures the transition from alpine elevations down to the shoreline of Chapin Bay, a protected inlet off the larger Admiralty Island coast. Further north, the secluded Eliza Lake sits within a high basin, surrounded by the dense forest cover characteristic of this maritime environment. This 2021 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details the complex public land survey system grid, including townships like t54s r69e and t55s r70e, providing a precise look at the remote topography of the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area.
