2017 Map of Sitka A-6 NW

About this map

Point Amelia serves as the prominent landform on this coastal map, marking a rugged projection of Tongass National Forest into the sea. The landscape is defined by the meeting of the Gulf of Alaska and the Pacific Ocean, where steep contours indicate the dramatic rise of the terrain from the shoreline. Administered within the Sitka Borough, this remote coastal area remains largely undeveloped, preserving the wilderness character of the Alexander Archipelago. The survey reflects the contemporary boundaries of the national forest and the maritime reach of the Alaska coast, providing a clear depiction of the shoreline and elevation changes in this uninhabited section of the maritime wilderness.
