2021 Map of Sitka B-3 SW

About this map

Baranof Island and the complex waters of Kelp Bay define this coastal landscape within the Tongass National Forest. The map shows a region shaped by maritime geography, where deep inlets like Middle Arm Kelp Bay and Portage Arm carve into the mountainous island interior. Navigation and coastal features are documented through numerous named hazards and landmarks, including Zubof Rock, Plover Rock, and Yellow Rock. The topography is dominated by steep elevation gains rising directly from the shoreline, with Glacial River draining the southern slopes into the salt water. Coastal researchers will find detailed shoreline data around Portage Point and the sheltered waters of The Basin, illustrating the intricate relationship between the forest and the North Pacific.
