1996 Map of Sitka B-5

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

Neva Strait and the intricate channels surrounding Baranof Island and Chichagof Island define this coastal landscape at the end of the 20th century. The waterway serves as a vital corridor for the Alaska Marine Highway, navigating through the Kakul Narrows and along the shores of the Tongass National Forest. Inland, the map reveals a wilderness shaped by both conservation and industry, featuring the Chichagof-Yakobi Wilderness alongside multiple Log Transfer Facilities located at Fish Bay and Rodman Bay. Smaller landmarks like the Highwater Island Cabin and various Lighthouse Reserves indicate the scattered human presence and maritime infrastructure necessary for navigating these labyrinthine Alaskan waters. The complex shoreline includes numerous coves and heads, such as Schulze Cove and Mountain Head, providing shelter in a region defined by its reliance on sea-based transport.
