2021 Map of Sitka B-3 NW

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this landscape, spanning the maritime pass where Chichagof Island and Catherine Island converge. The topography is defined by the steep rises of the Moore Mountains and a complex coastline punctuated by natural harbors such as Sitkoh Bay and Florence Bay. Human activity is concentrated along the shorelines, as evidenced by the presence of Sitkoh Cannery and Sitkoh Todd, sites that reflect the region's enduring ties to the commercial fishing and canning industries. These settlements and industrial landmarks are connected by several forest routes, including the Portage Arm East and the Catherine Island Whale C track. Navigational landmarks like Point Craven and Point Thatcher frame the entrance to the narrow Thatcher Channel, providing critical points of reference for travel through the busy waters of Peril Strait.
