2021 Map of Sitka B-6 SE

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape, covering the sprawling terrain of Kruzof Island and the western reaches of Baranof Island. The map illustrates the complex waterway system of the Alexander Archipelago, where the Gulf of Alaska meets protected passages like Salisbury Sound and the narrow Neva Strait. Local history and land use are reflected in the access routes through the dense timber, including the Eagle River Trl, Gilmer Bay Spur, and Gilmer Spur 2. These paths provide a rare terrestrial connection to interior landmarks like Lake Surprise and the sheltered waters of Gilmer Bay. The coastal perimeter is dotted with hazards and navigational points such as Channel Rocks, Point Kakul, and Sukoi Point, marking the transition from open sea to the intricate inlets that define the Sitka region's maritime character.
