2017 Map of Sitka A-5 SE
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
Sitka occupies the western shoreline of Baranof Island on this 2017 survey, serving as a maritime and aviation hub amidst the islands of Sitka Sound. The intricate coastline is defined by protected waterways like Whiting Harbor and Western Anchorage, which separate the mainland town from Japonski Island and the Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport. This contemporary map details the complex geography of the Alexander Archipelago, showing the town's expansion along Halibut Point Road and into the foothills of Harbor Mt. / Gavan Hill. Local heritage is marked by several significant landmarks, including the Russian Cem and Lutheran Cem, as well as Princess Maksutov's Grave, reflecting the area's deep history. The vast wilderness of the Tongass National Forest begins at the town's edge, while offshore, groups like the Kasiana Islands and Apple Islands dot the Gulf Of Alaska.
