2021 Map of Sitka B-5 NE

About this map

Rodman Bay dominates the maritime landscape of this coastal survey, where the deep waters of the fjord meet the dense woodlands of the Tongass National Forest. The map documents the intricate shoreline where Rodman Cr feeds into the bay from the south, creating a transitional aquatic environment near the Lauf Islands. Situated on Baranof Island, the terrain is defined by steep elevation changes, with the northern reach of the Duffield Peninsula and the eastern inlet of Appleton Cove providing sheltered anchorages. This 2021 update captures the region in its modern state as part of the Sitka City and Borough, reflecting a landscape where wilderness and waterway are the primary features, largely untouched by major roadway infrastructure and defined instead by the natural contours of the Alexander Archipelago.
