2017 Map of Sitka B-6 SW

About this map

Gulf of Alaska waters dominate this coastal survey, where the rugged maritime edges of the Tongass National Forest meet the Pacific. The terrain is defined by dramatic coastal features like Cape Georgiana and the neighboring peak of Mt Georgiana, which overlooks the secluded Lake Surprise. This area serves as a critical navigation point for those studying the archipelago's topography and natural landmarks. Numerous hazardous offshore features are documented, including Morskoi Rock, Sea Rock, and the scattered Sealion Islands, illustrating the complex shoreline that characterizes the approach to Point Kruzof. Further south, the map charts the narrow reach of Twin Point and the isolated Eagle Rock, providing a detailed look at the island's uninhabited western fringe during the late 2010s.
