2017 Map of Sitka A-5 NW
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
Partofshikof Island and Kruzof Island define this island-dense maritime corridor northwest of Sitka. This 2017 study illustrates the complex navigation through the Whitestone Narrows, where the Neva Strait meets Sukoi Inlet. The landscape is part of the Tongass National Forest, showing a network of logging and access roads like Iris Meadows Road and Mud Bay Spur 1 carved into the coastal timberland. The map details numerous smaller landforms, including the Magoun Islands and Bare Island, situated within the tidal reaches of Krestof Sound. These straits and sounds have historically served as vital sheltered passages for vessels moving through the Alexander Archipelago, avoiding the open waters of the Gulf of Alaska to the south.
