1987 Map of Sitka A-4 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Sitka occupies the southwestern edge of Baranof Island, serving as a focal point for maritime and scientific activity in the late 1980s. The town's coastal presence is anchored by the National Cemetery and the Sitka National Historical Park, while the USGS Magnetic Observatory highlights its importance to geophysical research. The landscape transitions quickly from the busy Eastern Channel and its many small islands like Kutkan Island and Galankin Island to high peaks such as Mount Verstovia and Arrowhead Peak. Water resources dominate the interior, with Blue Lake and Heart Lake feeding into drainage systems like Sawmill Creek, which flows into Sawmill Cove. This survey details the established road network, including Sawmill Creek Road, and captures the intricate coastline where Aleutkina Bay and Silver Bay meet the rugged terrain of the Alexander Archipelago.
