2017 Map of Sitka A-3 NE

About this map

Tongass National Forest covers the coastal landmass here, meeting the waters where the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of Alaska converge. The shoreline is defined by steep transitions from high terrain down to the sea, most notably at White Cliff and Point Turbot. To the south, Takatz Bay creates a sheltered inlet protected by the Takatz Islands, while Waterfall Cove provides another prominent coastal indentation further north. A significant jurisdictional boundary is shown dividing the Sitka Borough and Hoonah-Angoon Census Area, running south through Chatham Strait. This maritime-focused map highlights the complex archipelago and coastal topography of Southeast Alaska, focusing on the interface between federally protected forest lands and the open sea.
