1996 Map of Sitka A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1999

About this map

Baranof Island and the intricate archipelago surrounding Sitka Sound are captured here in a series of mid-1990s revisions that reflect a landscape of deep historical layers and maritime utility. The map details the transition from military and industrial use to conservation, marking the Army Camp (Ruins) near Shoals Point and a Log Transportation Facility on Kruzof Island alongside established protected areas like Old Sitka State Historic Park and the Magoun Islands State Marine Park. Maritime navigation remains central to the area's identity, evidenced by the Vitskari Island Light and numerous charted hazards like The Eckholms and Zenobia Rock. Land use is equally diverse, showing the winding Halibut Point Road leading toward a Rifle Range and a Landfill, while the interior remains defined by the Tongass National Forest and the prominent volcanic profile of Mount Edgecumbe.
