1996 Map of Sitka A-3

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

Baranof Island is defined by its dramatic relief and intricate waterway network, where the waters of Chatham Strait meet a coastline of sharp cliffs and deep-water coves. This 1996 revision shows a landscape centered on resource management and isolated outposts, featuring the Fish Hatchery (State) near Hidden Falls and the remote Baranof Lake Cabin (FS). The topography is dominated by alpine peaks such as Mount Furuhelm and Bahovec Peak, with glacially carved basins forming significant water bodies like Takatz Lake 905 and Kasnyku Lake. Settlement is sparse, limited to points like Manleyville and the activity around Warm Springs Bay. These features suggest an era where the Tongass National Forest served as both a protected wilderness and a site for specialized state and federal operations, connected primarily by water routes rather than roads.
