2017 Map of Sitka B-1 NE

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape in the Alexander Archipelago, showing a wilderness of steep terrain and dense forestry as it stood in 2017. The map detail centers on the protected waters of Gambier Bay, an inlet providing shelter from the open Gulf of Alaska along the eastern coast of Admiralty Island. Unlike more developed regions, this area is defined by its lack of roads and settlements, reflecting a preservation of the natural Southeast Alaska environment within the National Forest system. The intricate coastline and sharp elevation contours illustrate the dramatic rise from sea level to mountainous ridges, offering a precise look at the land-water interface where the temperate rainforest meets the sea.
