2017 Map of Sitka B-4 SE

About this map

Baranof Island terrain dominates this 2017 study of the Southeast Alaskan wilderness, where the high ridges and steep slopes of the Tongass National Forest meet the convoluted coastline of the Alexander Archipelago. The map focuses on the complex saltwater inlets of Kelp Bay, specifically Middle Arm Kelp Bay and South Arm Kelp Bay. This is a landscape defined by deep fjords and maritime drainages, where Bourbon Ck Middle Arm flows through the dense coastal forest. The lack of modern road infrastructure underscores the area's isolation and its reliance on the water for access. This USGS survey provides a precise look at the township and range lines, including t52s r65e, across a largely uninhabited and pristine maritime environment.
