2017 Map of Sitka A-6 SW

About this map

Kruzof Island dominates the eastern portion of this coastal survey, where the dense woodlands of the Tongass National Forest meet the open waters of the Pacific Ocean. This maritime landscape is defined by its indented shoreline, stretching from the northern prominence of Beaver Point down toward the southern tip at Cape Edgecumbe. Between these points, the coastline is punctuated by features such as Engano Point and the sheltered waters of Neva Bay. The map highlights the intersection of land and sea at the edge of the Gulf of Alaska, showing a region where the vast forest remains largely untouched by development, preserved within the national forest system as it transitions into the expansive marine environment.
