2021 Map of Sitka B-1 NW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this topographic survey of the Alaskan wilderness within the Unorganized Borough. The landscape is defined by the significant elevation of Mid Mtn, which rises above a series of drainages and glaciated valleys. The presence of Pybus Lake in the eastern portion of the quadrangle provides a key freshwater reference point amidst the densely forested and high-relief terrain typical of the Alexander Archipelago. The map serves as a contemporary record of this remote area, documenting the natural hydrography and elevation contours as they existed in the early twenty-first century, with few signs of human infrastructure beyond the established boundaries of the national forest.
