2021 Map of Sitka A-6 NW

About this map

Point Amelia serves as the primary landform on this coastal sheet, projecting into the open waters of the Gulf of Alaska. The landmass is characterized by the dense, protected wilderness of the Tongass National Forest, showing a landscape defined by sharp elevation contours and an intricate shoreline. This 2021 update by the U.S. Geological Survey reflects the modern maritime boundaries and topography of this western edge of the Alexander Archipelago. The map identifies specific township and range lines, such as t53s r60e, t54s r60e, and t55s r60e, which delineate the public land survey system across this remote maritime environment. It is an essential reference for understanding the modern topographic state of one of the most rugged coastal reaches in Alaska.
